This is such a fun novel. Even though you think it's the usual cliche type of childcare rofan (which I would still enjoy) it's well written and engaging. The characters are all zany and have fun interactions with each other. MC's personality is bright and fun but undercutting the humour is this interesting mystery.MC is sorta an unreliable narrator in some ways but it's also because she herself isn't unaware of many things. Like there's this desperation about her that isn't just guilt you might not pick up on until someone else's pov.The story drip feeds with interesting lore mainly about her past and sometimes the future she thinks she knows. Like at first you think she's just a child soldier and the you find about more and the story recontextualizes.There's plenty of cute moments ofc but it's buoyed by a fun cast of characters and an intriguing plot. Give it a try!
