This one took me a while to get through, like…four tries kind of while. I kept picking it up, putting it down, and coming back to it, but I’m glad I finally stuck with it.
There’s something really warm and gentle about the story, and I liked the mix of characters and how everything slowly comes together. Marcellus definitely stands out and adds a unique charm that makes the whole book feel a little different in a good way. You can tell it’s meant to be thoughtful and quietly emotional.
That said, it didn’t fully pull me in. The pacing felt slow, and it took a while for me to feel invested. Even though I appreciated what it was doing, I didn’t feel super connected the whole time, which made it harder to stay engaged.
I also watched the movie, and honestly, I’d rate them about the same. Both are solid, both have heart, but neither totally wowed me.
Overall, I’m glad I finished it, but it took some effort to get there. It’s a sweet, thoughtful story, just not one that fully clicked for me.
