*I read this book February 2017. I wrote this review now. I read it as an arc. As always, this is my honest opinion of this book. This review and others can be found at www.TheTerribleBookBlogger.wordpress.com.

I am here for the fluffy contemporary and that’s exactly what Seven Days of You is. I loved every single second of this book, because it’s adorable, and frustrating, and cute, and gives you all the feels.

This book is pitched for Stephanie Perkins fans, and one of my all time favorite books is Anna and the French Kiss, so I was very excited to pick Seven Days of You up. The plot sounded adorable. One of my favorite tropes is enemies-turned-lovers (as well as, best friends-to-more) so I couldn’t wait to pick this book up.

I started reading when I needed stress release from my classes and I finished it in a couple of days. I loved every second reading it. It was exactly what I needed to get past a very hard week.

This book takes place in Japan and the imagery is very vivid. Sofia constantly mentions her surroundings, what she’s wearing, and what she’s eating. (Did not know there were so many unique food choices in Japan).

I really loved Sofia. She felt real. Moving is no easy feat, especially not a move of such great scale, and it’s frustrating for everyone involved. The relationships in this book sometimes could be over the top, but overall, I feel like they were realistic representations of people dealing with someone moving away.

Seven Days of You is all fluff. It’s fun, and cute, and kind of dorky. If you were a fan of the shenanigans of Anna and the French Kiss, you will enjoy reading this one too. Overall, this book made me feel happy, and that’s the best thing a book can do.

The best way I can describe this is Lost in Translation for the teen set. A book that celebrates the opportunity to live and study abroad, along with everything else that goes along with it, it’s both quiet and fun, exciting yet subdued.

Why, then, am I not enthused by this book?

I couldn’t tell you 100% of the reasoning why. A lot of it is that this book doesn’t feel like it has a ton in the way of stakes going for it. There was little reason for me to root for a particular outcome, and everything felt rather mapped out from the start for me. The adventures (and I use the term here in context) felt fairly subdued on a whole, and, honestly, there wasn’t a ton here for me to invest the emotional energy.

Truly, there’s perhaps an argument to be made that this is more about setting and such for the audience rather than the deep story. But I compare it to Lost in Translation in that the story is one that I remember very little about while continuing to have very strong and vivid visuals. The result is a book that, in a way, felt like a vacation I’d like to go on, just not necessarily with the people involved. A good read, but far from mind-blowing.

im not gonna lie, the reason i first wanted to read this book is because it's set in tokyo and i love everything about japan and i wish i could live in tokyo. so i obviously loved that aspect of the book, but the plot was just as great, i really liked it and jamie and sophia were so beautiful and i cant decide if the ending is painful or beautiful. a mix of both maybe. i just think this was really sweet and i had a good time reading it.
