"4/5 ⭐️ This was a favorite series of mine when I was younger, and it was so sweet to return to this familiar story. I love seeing the characters build their life together out on their own, and growing up I also really wanted to live in a boxcar. It’s definitely a simple story (with not too much depth), but I enjoyed this throwback!"
