wow, this book was pure comfort. it honestly feels like a warm hug from my grandma <3 imissher this is about a small town japan story with time, fate and second chances, featuring an abandoned shop, mysterious letters, and strangers asking for advice from someone who technically isn't around anymore. it’s incredibly charming and easy to get lost in. the way higashino-san connects all the different stories into one big web is brilliant, nothing feels forced, it just flows perfectly. and the final letter had me weeping like a baby huhu T____T namiya-san is just such a good soul 🤍 as my introduction to keigo higashino, this was an absolute peak! ✋🏼😐✋🏼
