I loved this read and found it a great getaway escape read. From the sassy narrative of GUP, to the way hot issues are approached to the innocent children, this book was a pleasure to follow. As the basis of the plot was sad itself, the author made sure that the journey was one full of laughs, eye rolls, and bashful grins.
I so enjoyed this book. I listened to it and found the audio so engaging. It has such a nice balance of heartfelt and genuine humor. I found it relatable in many ways and loved the character development. I would highly recommend this book.
I was excited for this one and it didn't live up to my expectations. I found all the adults to be pretty unlikable. It also ignored the backdrop that was set up for the plot.
This was so fun and charming - it was exactly what I was looking for in a comfort read for the gray winter days.
This is definitely a 3.5 star read. A lovely story about grief and family. What those things mean together. As well as what âmoving onâ means. Loved Patrick and hood relationship with the kids. Caraâs storyline was a bit odd. I donât think Iâll read the others in the series but it was nice.
