Audible read. Great voice actors.
I'm quite a wee bit behind on my amount of books read goal for this year so a quick middle grade book is always a quick fix. I was intrigued by the concept but I was really sold on the writting style surrounding the idea of the lovebugs.
Overall this has a pretty predictable storyline but what doesn't these days? Anyway the writing is great, the imagery is impeccable and I'm a sucker for a found family trope. I would love a sequel on where they go from here.
