I really loved the representation in this book (especially as someone who relates to the biromantic label) and part of the love story were fun to read about. Overall, though, the writing and plot was just lacking for me. The story felt really disjointed, the timelines skipping weeks at a time, and the relationship between Takumi and Alice was just confusing at times with the skips in timeline. Also, the writing felt somewhat young for the age of Alice’s character and there were a lot of details/narrative that I felt were unnecessary and excessive.
It was the first book I’ve ever read with biromantic rep which I loved but overall the writing was not good and I felt it lacked in character development and plot development.
