This book, while incredibly charming, needed a bit of a quicker pace. It was probably a different experience for me, since I did listen to the audiobook, but I felt myself frustrated at parts because I felt like it was one step forward then two steps. I loved how it tackled current issues (including, but not limited to: foreign epidemics, modern-day homophobia, and PTSD) in an approachable, relatable manner; and some of the characters had a really wonderful arc. Overall, this book was a good fluff read, with plenty of twists and turns, and lots of family drama.
