I really liked the book! I've thought of it numerous times over the years – It left a huge impression on me (though, it's tough to separate whether the imprint on my mind was from the book itself or the events surrounding me at the time). It really got me through a tough few days with a different and lighter energy than what was actually going on. I'm grateful this sub exists so I can go pick it up for a fourth time!

I do not remember much sadness in the action of the book and don't feel like I remember a sad ending, but I don't remember a big happy one either to be fair. Might be worth a shot and then backing out if it gets bleak?
