Are you shitting me this was the most wholesome book I’ve ever read. Absolutely left me with the warm fuzzies. I finished it a days ago and still think about it multiple times a day and smile.

There were definitely points in the book where I felt frustrated with how tightly wound Linus was but I think his strong reluctance is what made the pay off so beautiful. He really learned how to embrace adventure and do the right thing no matter what the rules state.

I loved every single character. When
Linus and Arthur kissed I literally kicked my feet and squealed like I was in middle school again.


11/10 will be one of my favorites of the year.
