I feel like that gif of Stephen Colbert crying... my heart is going to burst because it's full of rainbows.

This book is absolutely lovely. It just came to me at absolutely the right time and wrapped me in a warm hug. It's a beautiful tale told in a comforting and compelling way. Something comfortable to wrap yourself up in. Cannot recommend enough.

Thank you so much to Netgalley and the publishers for giving me the opportunity to read this ARC.

Thanks to NetGalley, Aria & Aries to send me a digital review copy in exchange for an honest review. All opinions are my own.

This book is character-driven, and the two main characters are appealing in their own ways.

First, you have Tom, a teenager who struggles in his life. He starts going back to the library for a funny reason but starts to be a granny's friend.

Then we have Maggie, an older woman who loves fighting for causes and has many skills and a farm. Also, she had some secrets that you will unravel during your reading.

I love the bond that is developed between those two characters. It's a mix between a friendship and a family relation. The relation has a broader purpose as it helps both of them to evolve. The exchange they have is essential as you feel like they need it.

The library problem is just an excuse for friendship to thrive, and it also shows that books can bring different people together. However, I wasn't bothered by the light appearance of the library problem as I wanted to know more about Tom and Maggie.

This book was uplifting, and I didn't want to leave Tom and Maggie.
