i think the author tries to be supportive of disabled people but goes about it in a pretty objectifying way. minor spoiler: an able bodied person says that disabled people can only see the world as broken because we are broken and some other stuff like that. it's mostly limited to one scene though. also, the disabled character doesn't really have other purpose than having been a victim of a crime, he's there mostly for the main character's development

Had such high hopes for this, but the translation was a bit stiff and overwritten.
I went into this book knowing its intention of being a slow novel that talked about new starts and re-discovering yourself, and I think it had potential to be a good, uplifting story, but I found the translation to be stiff and impersonal. The writing didn’t flow, and it didn’t feel welcoming and cozy like how a “healing” story should. I’m curious to check out the translator’s other works to see if they share the same issue, or if this might be a product of the story itself or the original writing. 2.75/5
