3 ⭐This is about a snake and lizard that live in a hole together and decide to put a nameplate over their door. But changes to the names on the door and caused problems in the friendship. There‘s also this running line on how sometimes friendship has a capital F and sometimes it has a small f. I understand the sentiment, but it seems misplaced in this book. This book is fine. It will have its readers but overall, this book is not for me.
