  1. Sandhya Kumari

    Exquisite and moving. This short book packed a punch. The relationship between Taro and Nishi resonated deeply. Five stars!

  2. Tani Gupta

    Not what I expected. The writing was good, but I struggled to connect with the characters. The mystery wasn’t that intriguing for me. Still okay.

  3. Vishal

    A thoughtful exploration of loneliness and hope. While a bit melancholic, it’s ultimately uplifting. I enjoyed the author’s style of writing.

  4. Tejas Vinod Dhoke

    A quick read. Taro’s story is poignant, though the narrative felt a bit fragmented at times. The ending was hopeful. Overall, a decent read.

  5. Prajapati Sachin Rajababu

    A touching novella about finding solace in unexpected places. Nishi and Taro’s bond was the highlight. Some part felt slow though.

  6. Arushi Bansal

    I enjoyed the themes of connection and loss. The sky-blue house was a great symbol. However, I wish there was more depth to the plot.

  7. Preeti Boora

    Amazing book! Polly Barton has a gift for storytelling. The descriptions of Tokyo were stunning. Definitely worth reading!

  8. Ajith Kumar Reddy Bollapu

    I found the pacing a bit uneven. Some parts were captivating, while others dragged. The themes were interesting, but not fully developed.
