This book was just too mediocre. There is no plot, no character development, it is a bit too bland for me and i won't remember it in a while. It does have a very cosy, relaxing vibe so it is one of those classic no plot just vibes situation, but overall i just couldn't lean onto it and kept hoping for some development

Brilliant. Moving. Profound.

Beautiful writing and such a wonderful description of each character, each flaw, each decision and each loss. It moved me to tears and made me laugh.

It will remain one of my favourite books
