I Love You So Mochi by Sarah Kuhn
3.0

I try and read YA contemporaries now and then, just to experiment with the genre and spice up my reading, even though I know that this is one of my least favorite genres! Well, this time I got lucky, because this book was so sweet and such a nice and relaxing read!

We follow Kimi, a highschool student that spends spring break in Japan with her estranged grandparents, trying to figure out her life and what she wants to do in college. I really sympathized with her, even though I wasn't expecting to, since we are in totally different stages in our lives, but I guess contemplating about your future just never stops! Kimi overall was a wholesome character, she was interesting to follow and her relationships with other people in her life seemed genuine and not forced.

I loved that fact that the bigger part of this book takes place in Japan, it really made me want to visit the country and since that can't happen anytime soon, I'll resort to tasting Japanese food instead! I also loved the romance, it was cute, it was mature and generally it was way better than other YA romances I've read!

All in all, this is such a fun story to read, I would definitely recommend this book, especially if you are looking for something light and heartwarming to read now that it's summer!
