TJ Klune has done it again. Another beautiful book full of love and wonder. I chortled away at this book and then found myself in tears. He has the ability to create the most loveable characters out of flawed individuals. A gift for reaching in and touching your heart, and carefully cradling it with a story. This is a kind of re-imagining of Pinocchio in the future, examining what it is to be human and what it means to evolve. Absolutely gorgeous.
