* I got this arc for review from the publisher for my honest thoughts*

This book was the warm hug that I needed. I loved how much this book dived into the importance of found family. I liked all all the vanderbeekers kids were dealing with different issues that so scream to me as hopping in middle school. I really think this book was such a joy to read, but also tackled harder issues like grief, and complicated family daynamics. This book made me miss NYC so much and i can't wait to see how this series ends in book 5!
