For me this was like reading the diary of the older sister I never had.
Even tho I'm in my 20's and I can't relate to most of this book (I'm from a third world country and way too scared of men) it was nice (and scary af) reading about Dolly's experiences with dealing with her ownself, men and friends and all these kinds of love and relationships.
Her little life lessons gave me a lot to reflect and to consider in these years of my life where we are like baby adults trying to find a place to fit.
My favorite parts were when she talks about her friendships with women (specially Fairly), I really loved that.

I had so many expectations bc of the cozy fantasy concept but damn... I had such a bad time reading it mainly bc of the main character, Emily.
Emily is the most flat, robotic and unlovable character I had ever read. She doesn't have a character development (if we don't count her showing ONE single feeling at the very end). We never know about her past, her fears, the author give us nothing to empathize with her.
And even tho the format of the book is like a diary/investigation journal from Emily's POV you would think is bc of that but I enjoyed way more reading Wendell's POV in the encyclopedia.
The book get's interesting with something that happens 20% before it ends, before that, just two "big things" happen and the rest is absolutely nothing.
Thanks for coming to my TedTalk.

Such a beautiful, heartwarming, cozy and fluffy found family story. I cried my tears and laughed out loud so much. Absolutely loved it.

Segunda vez leyendo esta obra de arte y renové mi amor por Sebas, el Tío Paco, sus ocurrencias, sus vivencias, sus lecciones, sus libros y poemas.
Persona normal es de esos libros, como dice el Tío Paco, que sirven para hacerte mejor persona.
