J’ai plutôt apprécié ma lecture d’Un jeudi saveur chocolat : comme les romans précédents de Michiko Aoyama, il s’agissait d’une lecture assez réconfortante, plaisante à lire dans les moments de stress. Cependant, je n’ai pas été aussi investie dans l’intrigue ou dans les personnages que dans les autres romans que j’ai pu lire de cette autrice. Il s’agit d’un roman choral qui va de Tokyo à Sydney, et qui suit douze personnages, alors que le roman fait 220 pages, si bien qu’on passe assez vite sur le destin de chacun, et leurs histoires me semblaient moins développées à cause de ça. Ce livre reste une lecture rapide et plaisante, mais ne m’a pas particulièrement marqué : je ne pense pas lire le deuxième opus de cette série, étant donné qu'il suivra le même schéma, je me concentrerai plutôt sur les autres romans de l’autrice qui suivent moins de personnages.

This book is made up of multiple short stories. Some I liked better than others.
I liked the length of the individual stories and the diversity of the characters. The narrative was sadly very heteronormative and sometimes a bit stereotypical (not unlike the first installment of the series).

A delightful book. I loved the way the stories were all interconnected; it's a simple book but one that will stay with us, in the best possible way. Whimsical.

I‘m a little disappointed :(.
I read “What you are looking for is in the library” by Michiko Aoyama and absolutely LOVED it (5⭐️) so I had quite some expectations for this book. However, this book is around 100 pages shorter AND features 12 instead of 5 stories which led to rather superficial stories compared to WYALFIITL.
Also, I imagined it to be about the café below the cherry trees (rough translation of German title) however, most of the stories are set in Sydney :/.
I still liked the fact that the stories are interconnected. I simply expected something different.

Si un chocolat chaud fade pas très sucré un jour de printemps pluvieux était un livre, finalement.
Allez encore une tentative et si elle n’est pas fructueuse, j’arrête les romans philosophiques/dev perso/tranches de vie japonais
