I hate to say that i didn't love this as much as Strange Weather in Tokyo. In fact, I found it incredibly disappointing.

The story felt a lot more disjointed and quite frankly the characters in this book weren't nearly as interesting. The plot was slow and often the dialogue made no sense.

Pretty pants really.

ugh i really wanted to like this but unfortunately it is nowhere as poignant as strange weather! i know it's a different type of story but it just feels kind of all over the place :(
