I only recently learned this book existed (shout out to the Worst Bestsellers/Material Girls crossover episode) and decided to re-read the whole series before checking this out. Worthwhile endeavor! Start to finish! This felt like it could have been L.M. Montgomery's Tumblr if she hadn't died in 1942. I kind of skimmed some of the poems but always loved the little family chatter after each poem. It's giving early fanfiction where your characters comment on the work. Love it.

Some of the short stories felt a little same-y especially the way they all quote Susan Baker but also I enjoyed the cozy vibes. A fun artifact!
