This book hit home with a lot of themes like loneliness, finding their way, fitting in with the greater universe. I feel like everyone eventually hits this point in their late 20s. I love some of the paragraphs from Yuki's show. Very insightful and deep.
That being said, the romance felt like more of a subplot to everything else happening in Grace's life. It didn't seem very important for the majority of the book. The conversations between Grace and Yuki were very repetitive. It just wasn't for me personally. There also were a lot of characters to keep track of, too many if you ask me.
Overall, I liked the premise this book offered but it seemed to drag on a bit. I really wanted to like this book more!

My biggest complaint is how juvenile this felt. And as a friend pointed out, maybe that was entirely the point. Grace Porter is 29. She tells you all of that REPEATEDLY.
I would classify this as a cringy young adult. The “romance” seems fake. Everything is very surface. There’s a lot of real life emotional problems here and nothing is addressed beyond surface layer. It’s very repetitive, which seems to be on purpose but I don’t know why.
It reads a bit like a novel in verse. The father is an ass. The wife is…they’re all completely surface and self absorbed and we know almost nothing about anyone. Except Grace Porter is 29.

I want to preface this by saying that this book hit me really hard personally. So many of the themes are things I am dealing with myself, and it was hard to keep my mind from wandering to my own situation. I can easily imagine that if you don't relate to the experiences depicted in this book, you might have a very different experience reading it.
With that said, I loved it a lot. It was hard to keep the smile of my face for the first third or so, and when it devolved into darkness and anxiety it was hard to keep myself from crying. I loved the prose and the characters are very likeable. It has a poetic quality to it, which is sometimes a little overdone but I found it worked extremely well in most places.
I found the romance nice, but a little... off? I mostly just went with it but I couldn't get engrossed in it. It just didn't hit the places I wanted it to, and I think it had more potential than it was given. This fits with a more general trend in this book, where things may or may not happen and the book draws too little attention to those things given how relevant they could be to Grace's character development. For a book that's all about identity and breakdowns and being lost, I think those things are more than a little relevant; way more relevant than the book makes them out to be. This includes a bunch of little discrepancies that are never fully elaborated on.
So while I really liked this book, it didn't end up being quite my favorite. Which is a shame because I think it had all the makings of becoming just that for me. I also don't think this book is for just about everyone, but I think that for the right people, it could be extremely important.
