Make sure you have a snack handy when reading this book. Although there were aspects of the book I disliked - the big catalyst in the book, for example - I thought it was well-done and heartfelt.
Heartwarming but very slow paced. I enjoyed the story and the family, but felt that the characters were underdeveloped and there wasn't much growth in them. Beautiful writing but felt like a lot of filler in the beginning/middle, then super quickly moving suddenly at the end.
