This book started slower than other books I've read by TJ Klune but the story was no less wonderful. Klune makes loving the characters and their journeys seem effortless.
I will say that care should be taken with those who might be affected by those who struggle with eating disorders. There is a lot of passages about negstige self-image surrounding weight, body shaming, and disordered eating. It is done as part of the character's development but it could be triggering.
