I finished with just a few hours to spare on my audio book loan! 
It took me awhile to get into this book, I think the hype surrounding it made me feel it was kinda lack luster at first. I wasn’t super fond of the narrator for a good majority of the book, and if he said “oh dear” or almost fainted one more time I was gonna lose my shit. But the other characters in this book SAVED IT. The kids at the center of this novel just made my heart so happy and filled me with joy. I don’t think I would’ve finished it if it weren’t for them. 
Overall a good book, but I don’t think it lived up to the hype given to it.
