I had a great time reading this book! I thought that Tova’s character was engaging and connectable, and Marcellus was amazing. I found myself with lots of emotions throughout this story – laughing out loud, heartbroken, confused, frustrated. I feel like most of the characters in this story helped support and move the plot. It is a lighter read that still encompasses heavy topics. I also think the ending is beautiful and it made me happy to see things wrapping up though not perfectly in a bow yet.

Explores themes of grief, finding family, exploring love (at different stages in life), and freedom versus captivity.
