Cozy, artsy, and (slightly) whimsical. I didn’t love it but I can appreciate its value.

This is surprisingly a very easy read. I love the simplicity of it, the concept of serendipity between two people. 

They went through different stages together, till the end. The ending is a happy one, in my opinion as I'm very satisfied with it.

I also love how short the chapters are. The only weird chapter is the third last chapter, because I remember thinking while it's still easy to comprehend, "WHAT IS THIS?" 

All in all, it's a delightful experience for me 💕

No sé que tienen los escritores japoneses que me gustan tanto, es una historia de amor y no lo esperaba aunque el mismo título lo dijera. No me identifiqué con los personajes y aún así me quedé a contemplar su historia desde el primer asiento y no podía voltear a otro lado. Me gusta mucho la escritora transmite los sentimientos de manera muy sutil, lo recomiendo mucho a quien busque una novela romántica diferente.
