It's so short and heart-warming! I love the simplicity of this book. And I absolutely love books, too! AHA!

This book was such a pleasant surprise, I love it so much😭 idk what else to say but if you're thinking of reading this book and aren't sure just try reading a few pages first, the book will do the rest. And it's a quick read too, even though it's not super quick paced it kept up the suspense and keeps the reader hooked. I wanna own the physical copy😭 and I'm super glad that the author included the names of the books and  authors mentioned in the final part, I was literally gonna go through the whole book again to find the names lmao. Also there are fairly funny bits here and there and the cheerful upbeat vibe was really good to read. I felt like it's a healing book. I'm glad I read it now💗

I loved the exploration of an uncle/niece relationship. It's the first time I'm seeing this and I loved this book so much.

This kept appearing on BookTok so I knew I’d have to try it 🥹

This book truly encapsulates the human experience. Going through some hard times and being able to rely on your family and loved ones is truly reflected and it is so sweet 🥰 I really liked Takako’s growth as well; going from being timid to extremely expressive (a little more Momoko and Satoru!) was lovely to witness!

Also LOVE the nod to Takako’s potential queerness? 🏳️‍🌈 Happy to see it in a book from a while back. We all knew Wada was going to be her new love though, he just sounded great! 😊

An easy read if you’re looking for something funny and wholesome. I definitely needed this light read. 4 out of 5 stars for me, thank you ✨
