This was such a complicated, delightful novel. The synopsis makes it sound like a lighthearted romp, but this is deep and complex. It explores complex family dynamics, difficulties in navagating relationships, and alternate realities. Just so much going on, and all of it so wonderful.
I would really recommend this for fans of Becky Chambers's Wayfarers series. It has a similar feel, but it's much more focused and grittier.
