What I Liked
- I loved watching Alice's journey with her sexuality unfold. It was very personal and very real and I appreciated how it played out.
- There weren't any of the classic Ace stereotypes played out by the main characters. Obviously, the book started with some of these hurtful cliches, but overall, it stayed away from them which was incredibly important.
- Takumi was just wonderful.
- I liked Alice's relationship with her family and how she dealt with that.
What I Didn't Like/Wanted More Of
- The writing style wasn't my favorite, specifically all of the I guess after-thoughts in parenthesis throughout.
- There was a little too much going on at times. I almost felt like the plotlines with Feenie could have been removed without affecting the integrity of the story.
- The ending jumped ahead, which was fine, but it left me confused in terms of Alice's relationship with her family.
You Should Read If You Like
- This was a fabulous little romance that dealt with some heavy-hitting topics, so if you're a fan of romances that go past the surface, I recommend this!
