People Who Talk to Stuffed Animals Are Nice: Stories by Ao Omae
3.0
2.75 Stars only for the last story.
I'm so disappointed after reading this book because we feel that the title and the cover were just used to attract readers to this book. While reading each story my interest and mind were on stand by, I was just reading and not feeling anything until the last story of the book called "Hello, Thank You, Everything's Fine" which was the only one that really piqued my interest a little bit. It's about mental health and loneliness, it was weird and interesting.
All in all, the stories felt like they were missing, a bit confusing if not just needed to be more elaborated and I don't know if the problem is the translation for Emily Balistrieri seems to have translated several good works.
