Adored reading this! A must read if you enjoy found family.
I found the characters well rounded out and lovable, and they truly came to life from the pages. Klune's writing is very enjoyable, I particularly like the vivid descriptions that never got over-detailed or lasted too long.
I think I will treasure these characters for a long time.

The main character has internalized fatphobia that is addressed as something to overcome in a route to self-love.papierfeder's review against another edition

- C: the characters were super adorable and diverse, i liked how they were described, i didn' really felt connected though & i personally don't really vibe with linus
- W: some feelings and situations felt over-explained, sometimes it left way too hopeful und overly positive, especially towards the end i sometimes cringed at some of the dialogues and writing
- P: the second half the story kinda dragged on, the over all outcome was very foreseeable
- I: at first, i couldn't put it down and towards the end the only motivation to read was to get this book done.
- E: in the beginning i really enjoyed it, was alright over all, glad that i read it, wouldn't read again
