    A very nice book, but I feel like the plot is slow and it took me a while to get into the story.

    Engaging and heartwarming. The characters are well-developed, but I wish there was more resolution with some of the secondary characters.

    A charming book with a strong message. The writing is simple, yet effective. A little too sentimental at times.
