I read this book in 18 hours. Don’t make the mistake I did and start reading it at night then stay up till 4am unable to put it down. The characters are lovable. There were a few times I LOLed. The mental health and health discussions were authentic and yet not overly upsetting - a great balance. This was a pleasant surprise! It’s definitely on the low spice end, though, maybe just a bell pepper rating honestly. 🫑/.5🌶️
