Ahh this was such a treat!! (*^▽^*)
Kimi goes to Japan to stay with her grandparents while she’s trying to find herself. I felt like her search for herself and her true passion was very well done.
I loved how supportive Kimi and Akira were of each other. They were adorable together.
I have two complaints:
1) Kimi meets this guy and trusts this guy who she just meets. It’s amazing how he’s actually a decent kind person and near her age. Unrealistic but I suppose it was okay.
2) How is their Long distance relationship going to go? They only had like two sentences to talk about it, and even then it wouldn’t be much to work off of.
I was truly sad when it ended. It was so fun. It makes me want to travel even more.

This was a cute love story perfect for spring! It was interesting seeing an asian american household wanting their child to go in the arts. Normally, they would want their children to go in the medical field or business. But this story was cute and simple and very reminiscent to other YA asian american romcoms I've read or watched already (XOXO or XO Kitty or Loveboat Taipei). Because it was written very similarly, the story itself wasn't as memorable as I hoped it would be. It's cool the main character (Kimi) wants to get into fashion instead of art. It's cool one of my favorite japanese desserts (mochi) was kinda the center of the story. But everything else about the plot seemed flat in my opinion. Cute quick read, but not memorable either.

Light and fluffy cute... I was more interested in the places being mentioned and of course, Mochi.

This one started out at 3 stars for me but slowly worked its way to 4. A slow burn, I started out annoyed by how dense the main character was and just perplexed by the whole argument she was having with her mom that leads to her impromptu trip to Japan. But then I got distracted by the descriptions of Japan and the overall love story and ended up liking the book almost in spite of myself.
