Review:
This book was just
really sweet and cute, and I’m really glad that I picked it up.
Takumi is a widowed
father, taking care of his son Yuji, when suddenly his wife shows up with no
memory. She doesn’t know who they are, but does her best to get back into her
supposed mother and wife role, while Takumi tries not to get too attached, and
Yuji tries to deal with his mother not being exactly as he remembered.
I loved their relationship.
Takumi loves his wife, but he’s wary, not believing her being back will last.
Yuji has always been hopeful, because of this story she used to tell him, but
she’s so wary and hesitant now and he misses the way things used to be.
I loved the progression
of them all getting into a new routine, and how Takumi and Mio fall in love all
over again, as well as how both of them parent Yuji. Then there’re the outside
influences, people that Takumi works with and Mio’s mother, who they don’t want
to find out about Mio’s being back.
The ending was sad,
and I liked finding out how it all supposedly worked, and what Mio knew before
she died, and how all of it worked. I'm even thinking about reading the novel to get a better idea of how it all worked. My overall favorite parts, though, were
their relationship with each other, how sweet and loving they all were.
As I said, this
story was just sweet and cute and heartwarming and light, and pretty to look at. I
really liked it.
