If you liked “A Christmas Carol” by Charles Dickens, then you would like this book. I myself laughing several times throughout the book. The characters were really fun and very heartwarming as many grew in different ways as the story progressed. I read this via audiobook and really liked the narrator, so if you are an audiobook person, go for it.
