Tout doux, j'aurais bien aimé approfondir le personnage du fantôme mais sinon j'ai bien aimé lire ce petit livre.

This book wasn't for me. I didnt like how everything you met someone new you had to get invested again into their stories. It pulled me out of the book multiple times.

This was something I randomly bought, because it is set in Japan.It was very good and I think exactly what I expected. It was thoughtful, melancholic and even sad. Especially the chapter about sisters that actually made me cry.Such a good read and looking forward to more in the future.
