i didn't particularly care for the first or third story, however the second story made me silently cry, my heart broke into pieces when i realized what was happening in the last one.
fumiko's story felt so superficial and shallow that i didn't know if i was going to continue reading the book however, as pages go by you end up loving the characters as if they're a part of your life. i'd say it's a book worth reading as it is very atmospheric and it makes you reflect & feel a certain tenderness about living.
