adventurous emotional reflective fast-paced
  • Plot- or character-driven? A mix
  • Strong character development? No
  • Loveable characters? It's complicated
  • Diverse cast of characters? No

3.5 stars.

I think perhaps I would have enjoyed this more if I had read it physically rather than listening to it as an audiobook. There were moments where the story felt disjointed and the characters disconnected from one another.

However I do feel the general story was lovely and had some wonderful moments to it. If you enjoy short stories with lessons to teach, then this is for you.
