I started this book only because it was immediately available on Libby and I needed something to read asap. 

This story is so touching and also stressful because for much of it I just could not see how there would be a happy ending. The style is so unique and engaging, but I do not recommend reading the ebook on a phone—it makes the formatting all screwy. It was a headache to follow until I got used to it. 

I didn’t think I’d like this as much as I did. All of the characters are delightful in their own ways, and I want the best for all of them.
And I’m glad the get it in the end.
