This was a cute and cozy read. I'm sure it's much better in the original Japanese version, but this was great as well.
My favorite story is probably the second one "Husband and Wife." The last three stories were very strong.
I didn't love the first one, though. The beginning of this book was so annoyingly slow that I debated DNFing. The end of the first story was stronger, but the beginning just wasn't great.
Other than that, it's a good cozy read, but it still evokes a lot of emotion. This is the first book I've read that's been translated from Japanese and I wasn't disappointed.
