Good souls

It’s a funny but still heartfelt film, with likable characters and that familiar reminder that healing, love, and new beginnings often appear when you least expect them. This is perfect if you want something feel-good and escapist, and it’s a quick read so you can still enjoy it before the 12 days of Christmas are up! 7/10 just because it’s pure fluff.
