This was really sweet. It, like the first book in this series, is told in epistolary style, through the main character's diary entries. The story is very character-driven and slow (fans of the cosy genre will enjoy it), with the second half also featuring a romance plot.

I enjoyed the romance plot. The love interest is a trans man, which is always a win in my books.

Probably my favourite part of the story was Seb learning his self-worth and reconnecting with his family again. There's a scene near the end where he has a heart-to-heart with his father that made me quite emotional.
