The Little Teashop in Tokyo by Julie Caplin
3.0

Out of seven of Julie Caplin's Romantic Escapades books, this was my fourth one (I've read Copenhagen, Northern Lights Lodge and Croatia before Tokyo). Unfortunately, it was also the one I liked the least. ⠀

Don't know it was all the romances I've read this month, but I have just had enough of all the predictivness, grand gestures and a-ha moments. Maybe its not entirely the books fault, maybe it was just my strange state of mind. Or maybe it was about the book. I dont know. I know only that it didnt do anything for me. The chemistry was weird, the characters not really interesting and reading about Japan was strangely boring. Which is pretty unusual. ⠀

Honestly, I would wish more laughing moments and more depth when talking about the culture. The first one in series (the Copenhagen one) blended all of that so nicely that it set the bar really high. I have three more to read, and I really hope that they will be better than this one. ⠀
