Endearing and heartwarming. I loved both James and Hannah as characters, as well as the family members who showed up in the story. 

It did feel like the book was more of a novella than a full novel. The first half of the book especially felt a little abrupt with James, switching his character rather quickly. Based on the acknowledgments at the end though and what Ms Matthews was going thru, it makes perfect sense. As always, enjoyed it a lot regardless.
