What‘s not to like about this book? Amazing characters, family, humour, writing and the character development 🙌 I feel like it did drag slightly halfway but that was probably my fault - it took me nearly the whole of January to read it and I feel like it‘s one of those that needs to be read in chunks. Still, absolutely loved it, especially the ending for Valdin 🩷 #readyourkindle

It took me forever to get into this and when I finally did, it got weird...in a bad way. And then I found out the author made some awful comments about trans people. So, yeah, I'm bailing.

This is one quirky book. The story is quirky, the two main characters, brother and sister, are quirky and the ending is too! I really enjoyed the weirdness of these two siblings, their family, their lives, all made for a highly enjoyable read.

Almost bailed at the beginning of this fun and quirky book, but glad I stayed with it.

I‘ve waited too long to review this and am having a hard time remembering the plot—but honestly, it doesn‘t feel like it matters since plot is not the main point here! I thoroughly enjoyed this character-driven book. Both Greta and Valdin were likable and relatable, and I loved spending time with them and their sprawling, quirky family. My main criticism is that there were about four too many characters! At times it was a challenge keeping track⤵️

BarbaraJean (Cont‘d) …of who was who and how they were all related. And adding additional POVs at the end felt a bit chaotic, but so did the plot at that point, so maybe it all works out. 😆 (edited) 1mo
