Can I compare this book to my cat? I want to because both are warm, cuddly, and super adorable.
I decided to read this specifically because I wanted a simple, feel-good story and it was perfect for that.
I really enjoyed Leena's half of the book. She's fun and feisty. And I thought the author did a great job portraying her grief over her sister and anger at her mother in a positive and endearing way. It also gave the book more depth than I was expecting.
I also liked Eileen, and appreciate the qualities her character represented. I did find that ๐ด๐ฐ๐ฎ๐ฆ๐ต๐ช๐ฎ๐ฆ๐ด she was a bit ๐ต๐ฐ๐ฐ ๐ฎ๐ถ๐ค๐ฉ and that, at times, it bordered on gimmicky.
Also, this was my first time listening to an audiobook! Once I stopped over thinking it I fell completely into the story. It was great! I could listen while doing chores. I listened a little bit at work ๐คซ, I even listened while reading a different book off my Kindle. Joking about that last one!! My brain hurts just to imagining doing that!!!
Thank you NetGalley for allowing me to read this book.

Welcome to the life of audiobooks! They are wonderful when your eyes are distracted with projects other than reading! I love listening right before bed. I love that Audible has a sleep timer so my book doesn't go chapters on end while I doze off. The features!! โคโค๐
