Definitely an emotional book, although it doesn’t start out that way. Bit philosophical: Although you can’t change the past you can change yourself and do better moving forward.

such a beautiful read. it was so simple yet so moving! i loved the style of storytelling that kawaguchi used; all of the chapters flowed seamlessly and everything felt so full. his wording was simple yet conveyed so much. he has a wonderful way with building characters and strengthening the reader’s relationship with them. i would really recommend this book to anyone and everyone.
