Charming submitted by adimarzo on July 21, 2018, 5:47pm Well-written with interesting characters and a several distinct storylines that eventually intersect.

Charming submitted by lballard on July 19, 2022, 5:18pm This is a sweet light novel. I’m not especially a fan of magical realism, but there is only a small amount in this book.

Perfect submitted by pratibhamahesh on July 12, 2023, 11:23am This is a perfect beach read. Multiple short stories weaved in. Read it start to end and the book kept me engaged.

Beautiful and kind book submitted by mickplu on July 13, 2023, 10:14am This book is sweet, kind, and beautiful while maintaining a slight aura of mystery. Two distinct stories are presented and then come together beautifully at the end. The characters are well-developed and the plot is unique. A definite feel-good book.

Absorbing submitted by Zekicmom on July 18, 2023, 8:36pm I was quickly hooked and had a hard time putting the book down when needed. Lots of characters to root for and few to not, spread between two distinct stories that came together satisfactorily by the end. I likely will never look at a random lost glove or other small object on the street again.
