wHat a b0p. Seriously though this Jonah dude is sooo freaking adorable and cute and Lenny is such a boss girl I love them so much. Grandpa Gus and Peter are also amazing characters and once again, I really love the Mariana Zapata Literary Universe thank you very much. I love getting glimpses of other characters from her other books it's always sooo fun.

I love the fact that it's a book about a book. These kinds of books are the best. I really loved reading about their story but I felt that the ending was too rushed. I would have liked to see the main characters interact more when they're older.

Wren is a giant yeti teddy bear and I just love it. Also, the relationships that Calla builds not just with her father and Wren, but with everyone else in Alaska and the fact that she treasures their stories so much is very heartwarming.
