There were many beautiful and thoughtful passages in this book. It was very Japanese in the meditation on little details. At times it got too ponderous for me, and I didn't like the ending.
Graphic: Animal death and Grief
Moderate: Cancer, Chronic illness, Death, and Terminal illness
Minor: Medical content and Alcohol

It wasn’t really my thing. It was mostly reflective and mainly description (barely any dialogue). Despite this, the writing was beautiful and there were a couple of parts I enjoyed. I’m just kind of picky when it comes to contemporary.
Moderate: Animal death and Grief
Minor: Cancer, Death, Terminal illness, Vomit, and Medical content
