![]() It’s heartwarming really, and I feel like a sap admitting that. ![]() It’s a cute story, that touches upon some difficult topics without being too much or too light - just balanced. The narrator definitely won me over with this listen. I’m not sure if I had been reading an actual book that I would have that rhythm and read the punctuations with the right effects. The narrator brought just as much depth and feeing into the story as the story itself. And to have a supporting character that was a child and key element but not being annoying - wow. Yes, obviously there were some predictable moments but the way they developed - I couldn’t help but smile here and there. ![]() To take these things and write them so well, to give depth to the characters and have a plot that has its ups and downs without being overdone is refreshing. There’s something to be said about a book that takes the mundane, the overdone cliches, the things I’m not really interested it (like the holidays, kids, and etc.), and pleasantly surprises me. But boredom hit and I decided to try giving it a listen. I hadn’t read anything previously from the author and was honestly on the fence about the narrator after two other titles. ![]() Looking at the cover art and reading over the description, I didn’t think I would have chosen this title. I didn’t remember preordering it, and was confused when I got the notification on my phone that my preorder was ready. I think I preordered this audible half asleep after a long time of aimlessly scrolling for books to discover. A fitting title for my thoughts on the book ![]()
