"The things we fear the most are often the things we should fear the least. It's irrational, but it's what makes us human. And if we're able to conquer those fears, then there is nothing we're not capable of."

What a beautifully charming book. I absolutely devoured this book in a matter of days; something that I have not done in a while. And its all thanks to the beautiful writing and incredible story. This book has one of my favorite tropes: found family. It is the main focus of the book where even outcasts can find family and love, especially when they least expect it. This book will instantly be added to my reread list and I cannot wait for the sequel to come out in the fall.
