Sometimes, we all need stories where it's all about sunlight and flowers and potentially dramatic situations quickly turning into happy chances. This is one such book, and it's wonderful.  I think it's the most optimistic, smile-inducing ghost story I've ever encountered. The characters are wonderful, the artwork is gentle and stunning, and the romance is so cute and so well-done. Even though the story is pretty short, you can really feel all the staples of a good friends-to-lovers love story as the mutual pining builds up to a kiss in the sun. I did feel the story was a bit rushed, especially in the second half, but it didn't take away from my enjoyment.
