Under the Whispering Door got me so hooked that I did not want it to end! The message of love, connections, found family, redemption, and forgiveness - make this book an excellent read with thought-provoking life lessons when faced with urgency. It is geared to a higher reader audience but is current and relevant for the times.

I was so hooked with this book by the beginning, and I was so excited to see where it would lead, but ughhh, I struggled reading it. I felt it didn't need to be that long to get to the point. I still thought the book was very sweet, with great msg about love, family, friendship, and how ur mistakes and past do not define you, and it's never too late to learn, grow, and change.

TJ Klune is quickly becoming one of my favorite authors! This book was so thought-provoking. All of the right elements were there and I love the inclusivity of his stories.
