LET ME JUST SAY FAKE DATING TROPE ANDDDDD A SAPPHIC QUADRUPLE WHERE NONE OF THEM ARE WHITE WITH MY FAVOURITE BOOK COVER EVER? Wow I don’t know what it’s like to lose. I actually fucking adored this book so so much. The plot twist left me shook, the angst was on another level it worked so so well. All the plot lines were amazingly written from Nozomi’s character development and self reflection to her family relationships and the romantic plot lines I was seriously having the time of my life. This book is absolutely amazing and I will cherish it forever. In fact it’s so amazing that I was certain I was gonna give it 5 stars…BUT without spoiling details the couple first getting together at the very end really really left me wanting more. If this book was ever to have a sequel - I would give this one an immediate 5 stars. And it’s not that the payoff wasn’t rewarding because it really really was it’s just that I have this flaw whereby I really want at least a sprinkle of what happens after the two love interests get together and I just hate not knowing haha.
But despite that I thoroughly enjoyed all the sapphic messiness the romantic tension between the characters and the fact that all 4 of them were openly out sapphic women just gave me so much life.
I am so in love with the plot and the sapphic relationship in its book because it really gave me all the buzz - that I need it to become a tv series because there is just so much to explore. I have certain books that I hold dear to my heart but don’t want a media adaptation of. But this is definetly not one of them because imagine how amazing the different scenes would look on screen.
Misa Sugiura I could kiss you this book is everything and more!!! Also having not one but 2 main sapphic couples is everything!!!
