My heart hurts a lot. But sometimes all you need is a good cry. <br /><br />I’m glad this was the last book to wrap up my 2019.

Lovely and gentle. I chose this book because I read that it was 'feel-good', uplifting, comforting etc. It is to a point... but I was fully unprepared for how unbelievably sad it is!

THE PERFECT CURL-UP READ FOR CAT LOVERS 'Prepare to have your heartstrings tugged by this quirky tale' Sunday Mirror 'A book about kindness and love, and how the smallest things can provide happiness' Stylist ___ It's not the journey that counts, but who's at your side. Nana is on a road trip, but he is not sure where he is going. All that matters is that he can sit beside his beloved owner Satoru in the front seat of his silver van. Satoru is keen to visit three old friends from his youth, though Nana doesn't know why and Satoru won't say. Set against the backdrop of Japan's changing seasons and narrated with a rare gentleness and humour, Nana's story explores the wonder and thrill of life's unexpected detours. It is about the value of friendship and solitude, and knowing when to give and when to take. At the heart of this book is a powerful message about the importance of kindness. It shows, above all, how acts of love, both great and small, can transform our lives. ___ What readers are saying: 'Delightful, insightful, full of warmth with plenty of humour.' 'Uplifting and heart wrenching in equal measure.' 'It had me in floods of tears but filled me with hope too.'

I picked this up at a lovely second hand bookstore while visiting an island with my girlfriend. I was a bit tight with money at the time, as it was the last days of our trip, so I hesitantly put it down and left. Hours later, something prompted me to go back and find it. I was so anxious someone else would’ve snatched it before I got back to the store, that I was dragging my gf’s hand in the streets of Naxos to get to the bookstore as fast as possible. I’m very happy I managed to go back and my gf ended up buying it for me. Now! Back to the review. 

This story is heartbreakingly beautiful. Such a simple story that truly leaves its mark in your heart. Although sad, the ending leaves you feeling hopeful that there’s something better waiting all for all of us at the end of the road. Reading Nana’s POV was always delightful. A story about finding and choosing your person again and again until the end. A story about family, friendship, and the simple joys of everyday life through a cat’s eyes. I definitely recommend this gem and can’t wait to read more from Hiro Arikawa.
