• Diverse cast of characters? No

4.0

I'm enjoying contemplative, maybe slow-living books these days. I can't say I loved the writing style though, at times there were redundancies perhaps due to a translation issue. But this story was exactly what I needed.

Check trigger warnings beforehand though as light-hearted as it is, it still deals with certain heavy topics.
