4.0

It is delightful, sad, and heratwarming. Just a story that's full of heart. Perfect if you love story about life in a small village/island with its interesting people; and if you just love books and readings. I wasn't expecting this book to be sad, I thought it's just gonna be like a chicklit. But it's more than that and it made me sad (in a good way, it means the book did its job). There are a lot of stories about war and its effects here (no bombs or politics, but the other parts of it), but it added more value and those stories are what made this book is so full of heart because every character is just so kind and resilience. But there are also some action, conflict, and drama, which were fun!
