Slow paced contemporary fiction that takes a deep look into love, loneliness, and the unique feeling of finding one's place in a new country.
There is so much emotion in this novel. It is written as a stream of consciousness from the viewpoint of Louis as he meets up with Landon with whom he had a one night stand the year prior. They meet in Tokyo to share 7 days together.
They both are seeing if there is a deeper connection there between them. During the trip however, Louis starts to examine himself and how he fits into the world he finds himself in and he realizes that maybe what he thought he wanted isn't right for him. This book is deeply introspective and really brought up some emotions for me. It was a bit slow paced but I was okay with that as it actually allowed me to slow my reading and enjoy it more. Overall I thoroughly enjoyed enjoyed the book and am deeply greatful to Netgalley and Unbound Publishing for sending this book my way.
