Alice's Reviews > Restless Town

It seems strange to call a book 'gentle' when it comes with content warnings, but this collection earns the title with a series of introspective pieces in which thoughts and feelings are slowly and carefully explored.

I love furry slice-of-life, and I love stories set in and around a single location - and what author wouldn't like to visit coffee bar-cum-bookshop The Book and the Bean? Above all, I valued the sensitive, realistic portrayals of anxiety and depression. Sawtooth is a restful town as far as I'm concerned.
