Blessings is just as its title announces it. This is the ideal book to bring with you on the bus or train, not just because of its size, but because of how well Kearns embodies the urban (Brooklyn) landscape here. He achieves this by writing excellent dialogue and characters we genuinely care about. That all of this is packaged into a story that follows the language and thematics of the greeting card is an added treat. Warmth, joy, and happiness--indeed.
