I found the book to be very sweet. It’s a story about healing and friendship. The beginning was really good but it started to feel slow towards the middle. My only negative was that I felt that it took a while for the writing to reach its point but it started to pick up again towards the end. It’s a bittersweet book and all the characters experience growth. It’s a story about growing with the people around you and I think Sukegawa did a great job of writing three characters all of different ages and experiences, that all learn from each other.
