5.0

Read for my Young at Heart Book Club. It was my 2nd time reading, a decade later, and I loved it even more than I did the first time around (which was quite a lot to begin with!). 

 

Gorgeous, tender writing; vivid small town/island setting; with found family, two lovable dogs, LGBTQ+ characters, & a dash of mer-mythology. 

 

A perfect MG novel. Also great for gentle-hearted grown-ups who are doing their best, despite life’s hardships, to stay soft.
