Wow wow wow! I don’t even know what to say about this book. It made me smile, laugh, cry, sob, and feel things I haven’t felt reading a book in a long time. Books like this remind me of why I love reading so much!

This story is so warm and cozy, but also has a lot of hopeful suspense. All the characters are written so beautifully and I love the way Christopher was written because I find that it’s really hard to find a well-written kid.

I really connect to this main character about wanting to be a mom so badly, but the way she written is just so real and honest and I adore her. 

I couldn’t recommend this book enough! If you want a warm story that is going to keep you on the edge of your seat, this is the book for you!
