It was so cute, sweet, cozy, sad and thoughtprovoking, reflecting and really made me think about life and what is really important. What would you be willing to lose to live longer? It was a different kind of book about dying and grief.
We follow an unnamed 30 year old man that finds out he is dying from cancer and the same day he finds out he gets a visit from the devil that offers him a deal. He can eliminate something from the world to live longer. One thing every day to live one day more. Clocks, phones, movies… cats?
This is definitely the type of book that will stay with me for a long time
I love this niche genre of Japanese literature with books about cats
5/5. highly recommend this book, I read it in one night in just a few hours, it’s only around 200 pages so its a quick read! ...more

Den här var verkligen inte för mig. Tycker inte alls om otrohet och visst paren skulle ändå göra slut men gillar inte hur det utspelade sig. Fattar inDen här var verkligen inte för mig. Tycker inte alls om otrohet och visst paren skulle ändå göra slut men gillar inte hur det utspelade sig. Fattar inte heller varför huvudstaden ändrades i usa till New York? vad hände med Washington? jag gillade huvudparet som par egentligen och jag hade kunnat tycka om boken mer om det inte var för att de inte var gifta och hon var otrogen. Jag har alltid svårt för otrohet men speciellt hur det var skrivet här. Alice beskriver sig som att hon inte alls kan identifiera sig som en otrogen kvinna men handlingarna säger ju helt annorlunda, förstår inte alls. Det är inte riktigt något man kan identifiera sig som eller inte, det är ju något man gör. Hela boken bygger sig typ på ämnet också så är inte tillräckligt mycket annat bra för att jag ska kunna ge högre betyg. Och slutet kändes jättekonstigt, halvår i ett land och halvår i annat land. Det låter krångligt att få ihop med jobb och vardag....more

Publicly an outrageous and temperamental man and in private a sensitive man who struggles with his confidence and meanwhile is an incredible artist, singer, writer and performer. One of my favorite performances by him is the iconic in the Donald Duck outfit and I loved reading about that here. I knew he was funny of course because I have seen a lot of interview with him and I could really feel the humor through the writing that was fun. Reading this just made me love him more, he doesnt hold back, hes honest.
I dont know why it wasn’t a five star read for me, a five star read for me is a feeling and I didnt get that BUT I did really love this one a lot!! Highly recommend...more

The story and the magic system was very underdeveloped, the love story one sided, insta lovey, and overall I just had a very hard time getting into it. I skimmed a lot of parts because I just wanted to get through it since it was a bookclub read. We will discuss it in a few days and i don’t think I will be able to bring much to the discussion …...more

The whole concept is so sad butOh my god I absolutely loved this book, it was so sweet and emotional and heartbreaking and overall just so beautiful. The whole concept is so sad but while reading I surprisingly didnt cry, I felt like it was more beautiful and heartwarming reading about the love the main characters have for each other and their children, the whole family is just so loving to each other which I loved seeing. but it was very sad throughout the whole thing because we know as readers that they will die in the end, but in the back of my mind there was also the big question of - will they actually go through with it?
Of course it was also very sad because of the whole concept but the story was very raw and realistic, we saw two timelines - the now (the year before they plan to die) and their whole lives together and we watch them as a family go through a lot of different things together and its realistic things, throughout their relationship and as a family and in society.
It really feels like this was written to be a movie, I would love to see an adaptation! I also have to say I loooove the ending. Love this book overall so much, easy 5/5 please read it!
thank you tandem collective and bloomsbury for the physical arc! ...more
