Translated from Japanese and later adapted into a film, this book offers an emotional journey that deeply resonated with me. Like with previous books, I first delved into the audiobook version (currently available on Storytel at the time of this review) before exploring the ebook.
The narrative centers around a female protagonist grappling with anterograde amnesia, and her romantic interest. Her struggle is portrayed in a manner that is mostly believable, though it occasionally takes artistic liberties that challenge realism—for instance, the practicalities of managing her ever-expanding notebook left me a bit puzzled. Despite this, the book shines in its ability to convey feelings clearly and poignantly. The emotional depth of the story, despite not being overly complex, is touching and facilitates moving plot developments. The characters are well-drawn, coming to life through detailed descriptions that, even though the language is a times a bit more difficult than other things I've read before, following the main storyline was never too challenging.
In summary, I've thoroughly enjoyed this book and plan to explore more works by the same author, hoping that this will further reinforce repeating vocabulary and structures I've begun to pick up while reading this novel. :)
