Goodreads is way too mean to Phillip. Eloise is definitely dragged through it babysitting this emotionally unavailable man and teaching him how to feel emotions in a safe capacity, but Phillip is just doing his best here. Plus Eloise is a delight. I loved her personality and how she interacts with the kids. There are moments that definitely don't age well for our modern times, but I very much enjoyed this audiobook and had a fun time with it.
