I enjoyed the interconnectedness of the stories and the general feel-good coziness of the formulaic ending of each story in which the main character has found a solution.
I didn't quite care for the unrealistic narrative that seems to indicate that simply changing your mindset will solve your problems. Several of the things these characters experienced were systemic issues that are not so easily resolved.
Finally, I really disliked the fat phobia in the writing with regard to the librarian. There's truly no reason for it—fat characters can be depicted without being fat phobic.
This book absolutely should have come with trigger warnings. I had no idea the absolutely HEINOUS shit I was going encounter in this book until I was reading it. I honestly DO NOT understand, CANNOT for a second even begin to comprehend, why someone would want to write such a graphically detailed scene of pedophilia sexual abuse. Had I known I was going to encounter that I would have NEVER picked up this book.
