This is a bit of a departure from what I normally read. I appreciated that it included issues of racism which can’t be talked about enough. It’s a found family, cozy sweet novel that I think most people would enjoy. I liked the structure of the book - how each chapter alternated from present to past. That was done well and it wasn’t confusing. I was certainly interested in the characters and eager to discover how it all played out. My knocks against it are that I found it a little repetitive at times and somewhat simple. Overall I would categorize this as a sweet easy read.  (There are some sad moments sprinkled in).
