I absolutely fell in love with this book and could NOT put it down. I finished it in just over 2 days, which is unusual for a new-to-me book. Linus, oh dear Linus. I just love his transformation in this book. He's the me I used to be. I'm more like how he is at the end now, but it's a journey from one to the other.

I fell in love with the children, especially Talia and Lucy. I fell in love with the whole family really. I'm already thinking about reading it a 2nd time soon. I also don't usually do that for new-to-me books. A couple favorite authors I do that for.

This is just such a charming story. Heart-warming, funny in spots, sad in others, etc. The characters are so well-rounded and full of life. The plot is terrific. I found myself cheering Linus on in the end!

Seriously, if you like magical realism and queer romance, go read this book. LOVED it.… (mere)
