 Again, I don't think I need to repeat this; I love Clarissa Goenawan writing style. She's able to describe a situation so vividly that I feel like I'm in the story myself.

There's something different in this book from her debut novel. I personally think this one is more complex. We got to explore three closest characters of Miwako Sumida. We could observe Miwako's life from three different side.

This is a story about grief, loss, and pain or traumatic experience. I think this has similar pattern as Rainbirds, tracing someone's life before their death. But this one is executed differently. I'm not satisfied with the ending, that's why I gave this 4 stars.

Slight transmedicalist vibes, the idea that if Fumi gets GRS she might lose a her ability to see spirits. It’s suggested/stated that the ability is only passed down through the male family line so it’s sort of like saying she’s not completely a woman until she has the surgery. Also in regards to the suicide, it’s suggested that suicide is akin murder towards the end which is just a bit off.
