Well, this book just ruined my life in the best way.

Doll. War. Ocean. Book. Field. The cover is cute and quirky, but the story is deep and beautiful.

Nao is planning her suicide. Her family is in shambles and the bullies at school are too much. Ruth is a writer across the ocean who walks the beach and stumbles upon a Hello Kitty lunchbox with a notebook inside. Nao’s diary.

We hear their very different stories as Ruth reads about and becomes obsessed with Nao’s life and begins questioning all sorts of deep things about life and death and war and love.
