 I really didn’t expect the supernatural direction it went in. Real IT vibes. The characters are very lovable and fleshed out—while I feel like some of it was kind of rushed, and the urgency didn’t quite get across, I still liked it. Very unique.

This book was written at the height/beginning of magical realism. I found this to be a heartfelt, delightful read about small town life. Hard to read at times, but very good.
