Seven Days of You by Cecilia Vinesse
3.0
MY OPINION: ***
I loved the general idea of this book! To be honest, I expected a lot more from it and I think that the fact that it fell below my expectations was the problem with the book.
This book was about a girl named Sophia who lives in Tokyo but is moving back in a week. It covers the span of seven days. In those seven days, Jamie Campbell-Foster, a boy who broke her heart and vice versa comes back to Tokyo. Sophia wishes that he had come back a week later but ends up really connecting with Jamie.
My entire problem with this book was how it was laid out and what happened. Everything felt rushed to me and the characters didn't feel real to me. I can generally imagine what the love interests look like but I could not imagine Jamie for the life of me, other than the fact that he wears a horrendous hat.
Can I just say that Mika completely annoyed me? She was not a good friend and I can't believe that Sophie didn't see it before. She treated Sophia like she was a little kid and was patronizing and rude half the time. Also, she deterred her from David... because of her own selfish reasons.
David was okay but overall, he wasn't my favorite character. He was also kind of patronizing with his Sofa this and Sofa that and he was also rude when thinking about girls. We aren't just toys to be played around with.
Overall, this wasn't my favorite book but it wasn't bad. It definitely had a lot of potential. I would recommend it to readers who are looking for a quick light read.
Main Character: Sophia
Sidekick(s): Mika, Jamie, David, Caroline, etc
Villain(s): Love, time, dad, etc
Realistic Fiction Elements: All this book was very real to life.

I did not see that coming. David and Mika??David was okay but overall, he wasn't my favorite character. He was also kind of patronizing with his Sofa this and Sofa that and he was also rude when thinking about girls. We aren't just toys to be played around with.
