Just not for me. I wanted to read something contemporary for my ‘out of my comfort zone’ reading challenge. Didn’t realize this would be sad & emotional and revolve around death. I should pay better attention to the tags and reviews and trigger warnings next time!

This absolutely nailed the narration style and voice of a cat. It was so spot on that whenever we were in Nana's perspective, the effect was humorous, sardonic, and bluntly insightful. Each of the people that we visit throughout the book has interesting stories, but I wasn't overly attached to any of them. They were definitely well done and enjoyable as well as good at ultimately portraying their intended message. I definitely got teary-eyed at few points, but what I think about when I think of this book is Nana's perspective and how that was written. Although we never directly got the perspective of Satoru, but through each of the different perspectives, we get a very good view of this willfully optimistic friend, even through all the tragedies in his life. I enjoyed this, and it definitely had an impact on me, but not so much that I am obsessed with it.
