Josee, the Tiger and the Fish by Seiko Tanabe
3.0
If you have seen "Me Before You"-movie, it has kind of the same plot. Not completely same, but ish.
spoilers
The art is so beautiful. But I just really wish that the events of story were less "dreamy" and more realistic. She was being very childish and at times rude. I wish he would quit and take off to Mexico. And after a year or two find her book in a bookstore, and then pick up their romance. I just really DISLIKE that he had to go through a major trauma that shattered his dreams for her to finally realise that he was genuine about her. That's the push she needed to level up in maturity. shake my head
Because of the plot, I automatically expected somewhat higher level of maturity. It was still a good read, though.
