I was hoping the protagonist would see how wrong she was by the end and become redeemable, but this just seems like wish fulfillment for selfish, naive people. Not for me.

The background stories of several characters were a bit wonky, but other than that I really enjoyed reading this book. It was fun, heavy, emotional and lighthearted all at once, and I can't deny I teared up a little at the end. In other words, this was pretty much everything you'd want in a feelgood book, can definitely recommend this if you're in the mood for something fun yet comforting!
Moderate: Child death and Death of parent
