Reviewed by CindyI fell in love with the story. Theo was such a beautiful, kind man. I didn't want to put the book down. A refreshing and warm story I much needed. Love comes in many shades, life can make u forget the beauty of life. It reminds us to find the Theo in Us
Reviewed by Sophie WaldmannA beautiful story about humanity, kindness, appreciation of beauty and art and about being present. At times a little slow but not shallow or preachy.
Reviewed by InkMakesMeThinkDefinitely worth the read. A lot of characters but they were slowly introduced and the connections that build throughout the story are beautiful. The ending had a nice tie together, although I wish parts didn't feel so "rushed" but it was an amazing book on humanity and how different acts can bring people together for the better.
