4.0

A fun yet emotional read with loveable characters and an important message. 

Some thoughts I had whilst reading:
  • Enjoyed the different POV's and seeing a flat through different eyes. Found it quite amusing to see someone's mess being someone else's comfort and joy. Although, I almost stopped reading the book early on because of Leon's writing style, but glad I kept going. 
  •  
    'Girl who doesn't know she's attractive' trope? *rolls eyes* Actually, turned out to be from trauma and abuse so that is less trope-y. It is forgiven.
  •  
    Leon's ethnicity was never explicitly mentioned though it seems to be important to his character, particularly as he has a brother who is falsely imprisoned. Why not bring it up?
