A self-avowed bookworm ever since I can remember. Now, I make a living encouraging teenagers to read books. :)
YA fantasy is always my jam. I also dabble in science fiction, history or historical fiction, romance, nonfiction, and religious and spiritual, and self-help books.
This is charming, but not nearly as heartwarming as A Man Called Ove. Still, this novel has its own quiet charm. It's much more of a slow simmer, as the most compelling parts happen in the latter portion of the novel.
All in all: not my favorite of his especially compared to the masterpiece of A Man Called Ove but still a lovely read about change, risk, and meaning when all is said and done.
