cute – and surprisingly relatable!
written from the naive and innocent perspective of a 4th grader, this was shockingly insightful in the sense that we don't question things, situations and people quite like children do. 
kawakami succeeded in writing a great novella with a perfectly realistic child-narrator. 
as sweet as it was strange and unusual.
