This book may appear simple at first glance, but it unfolds into a tapestry of different lives and diverse characters. It strikes a delicate balance between being lighthearted and profoundly emotional. 
I must admit, it moved me to tears by the end. 
Highly recommended for those who appreciate stories that resonate with the heart and soul ✨
