Whisper of the Heart

CriticsCritics: 85
AudienceAudience: 8.0

A book-loving schoolgirl notices that every library book she borrows was previously checked out by the same mysterious reader. As curiosity turns into friendship and young romance, she begins testing her own creative abilities and thinking seriously about her future.

My take

You’ll likely enjoy this gentle, nostalgic coming-of-age story if you like heartfelt animation and youthful romance; Not for you if you prefer fast plots, high stakes, or extensive fantasy.
