Took me a while to finish the audiobook. Not because I didn't like it but because I mostly listen to audiobooks on public transport and I had semester break in between and preferred to not listen to something for a while.
I really liked the book, it was relaxing and perfectly encapsulated childhood, in my opinion. I didn't like the ending though, it felt a little... lazy? And it kind of came out of nowhere. The conflict solved itself. Which should never be the case. Except when that's the message e.g. something bothersome like a rumor blowing over or something.
