this is my work friend’s favourite comfort book, and she was kind enough to lend it to me! it’s very different from my usual reads, and i enjoyed the way the chapters interconnected

thoughts while reading

p7: what is going on in the convenience store by the sea? 🏪🌊

p8: i would have been inclined to say the prologue was a childhood flashback, but this book’s owner says each chapter covers different characters, so it’s probably just about a random girl

p186: aww i love found family, hikaru really needed some grandparents
