This book was really interesting to read more than just fun to read. I think there lots of deep messages in this book. Few main characters came out and they were all related to the actual main character and I thought that was a really smart way to write a book. This book included many stories that were all related and it was a little similar to the New Penguin Parallel Text: Short Stories in Japanese. I was able to feel many feelings during this book such as sadness, happiness, joyfulness, and many other feelings and this book dragged my feelings like I was on a roller coaster.
I really enjoyed reading the book and I will love to tell many people to read this book.

This book was really inspirational for me. The storyline is about a girl called Emi, who got into an accident and woke up in the hospital realizing she couldn't walk. She had to have crutches forever. The truth that she was in this accident was shocking for me, but afterward, Emi makes a trustful friend, her only friend. This book taught me about the truth of "friends." Every friendship always goes well, it always has a bad time as well. The book has a lot of different person's perspectives and always talks about friendship. I learned about the world, myself, and the book. I recommend you read this book because it'll help you find the true meaning of "friends."

二人称で書かれてる（第三者の視点で物語が進む中、語り手が主人公のことを「きみ」とか「あなた」みたいな二人称で呼ぶ）のに違和感を感じ過ぎて読み進められなかった。二人称小説だって知ってたら買わなかったのになー。重松清は文体が気持ち悪くてムリ。
