Shaffer got me with this heartfelt Willy Wonka-esque book where one of the major themes is time and not having enough of it—not having enough of anything, really. The found family, the relationships, the love—it was all just so good. I teared up and laughed and I just loved this book. It’s an emotional rollercoaster, but boy, did I love the ride.
