 The more I read, the more it feels like death is the only finality that Toshikazu knows, which is a shame, since the beauty of his writing is incredible and he could do so much with it and this premise.

Another lovely read from this series. These have become my go-to when it comes to audiobooks. The stories are heartbreaking and hopeful at the same time, and have really helped me on my grief journey.
