I knew within the first two chapters that this would be a 5 star read. I don’t really cry when I read books, but I cried when I finished this book. It is such a great book. It really did feel like “being wrapped in a big gay blanket.”
The narration reminds me of Good Omens. There is a quick dry observational humor that I really enjoy. The whimsy reminds me of Miss Peregrine’s Home for Peculiar Children, the nice parts of A Series of Unfortunate Events, Finding Neverland, and James and the Giant Peach.
The characters were so alive. I could hear their voices coming out of the pages.
Beautiful storytelling. I wish I could read it for the first time again.
