I received an advance reading copy but that does not alter my opinion.
One of the best books I have read, it may be triggering to some due to the context of suicide and miscarriage but with that out of the way it is an amazing book. It shows a different side from the author and I'm here for it! It was difficult to read in some points only because the way it made me feel. It's a good thing though it opens your eyes to the things others struggle with. In the end an over all great experience. Highly recommend !

I absolutely loved this book.
Main features include:
A depressed, cynical main character.
Lots of anecdotes about Japan.
Sadness and misery.
Hope.
Friendship.
An actual trip to Japan featuring many places I've been too and love.
Questions on meaning and life.
A journey to find ones self.
A cat.
I could list more but obviously this is a Phee book in all the best ways. Kim Hooper is fast becoming a new favourite author for me. Why don't more people read her books!!

I don’t know if it’s just the mood I’m in, but I had to force myself to finish this one. There wasn’t really a point to it at all.
