Thank you to NETGALLEY for letting me read this early 🙏🏾.
I sat this book review for a while because I wanted to make sure I got my thoughts together. I do love the concept of the music and finding people who love the same sound as you do and play as good, too. I love that part of the story when all three of the girls come together and realize they sound better together than separate. The backstory of Geraldine ans how she became a ghost and why she was scared to play anything else but the same songs over and over again before someone else gave her the confidence again to play other music with remembering that tragic night of what happen was do really well and I enjoyed Geraldine alot. I also wanted to know how she became a milkshake even after the story. ( or maybe she must have liked them a lot to become one).
Now when it come to the two main leads Delilah and Izzy, I didn't care for the romance because it felt rushed and I understand Delilah didn't like what Izzy did when they were younger basically taking what she was trying to build a path for herself and make her own way. BUT Delilah has to realize that sometimes someone will sound better or make something play better. When it comes to music so her being mad at izzy for taking the college scholarship was a bit much, and her making fun of Izzy every time something didn't work for her rub me the wrong way. Now Izzy is another story I do like the supernatural aspect of the story because of izzy losing something very important to her and using that supernatural part to make it up for being able to play music. But not telling other what happen to you ( which I understand why because wouldn't understand or wouldn't care but still telling others would help alot) it would help so people would get mad at her everytime goes wrong. They think it her super hearing, but it was something else. That is why she was able to stay in the band for long until now with Delilah and Geraldine.
I do like how everything came full circle and every start to communicate with each other. But they should have done that from the beginning it would have felt a lot in the story. I really did enjoy this story. I wish it was long to see the girls on the tour.

really would have liked it more if we had more info on Rhianne then just Sephtis. The smuty part were really good but I want to know how the hell Sephtis got the money for suit, dress and fucking engagement eight. So many thing need to Answers and also did they say Gary Death was a suicide 🤔 or what cause that never got brought back up beside them finding his wallet in woof with bloodstained on it and also money in car.

Thank you to Kodansha Comics, NETGALLEY and author Uta Isaki for letting me read this.
Can I just say WOW this was amazing from beginning to end and I do this is a one shot for those who don't know. Our main character is chika we first met her in high-school in her last year and she hasn't figure out her sexuality quite yet. We see her friends trying to tell her that going put with boy and other relationship thing people would do when going but something end up happen to chika that shouldn't have happen at all because he didn't talk to her about it before hand. Her frist relationship end bad and she doesn't tell anymore what actually happens and the girl just thinks it bad break up. The group of girl try make it up her by going out and having fun but they talk about her bad when she leaves to get something. After all of that chika leave from hometown and moves to Tokyo for college and want to know more about things that shouldn't couldn't talk to her high-school friends about. She end up meeting a professor and start to ask question to trying get some answer but ends up leaving do someone else saying something wrong. Throughout we see chika meet knew people and make new friends. Chika start to learn about her self more and more by getting books from book store and from the professor to learn more and more on where she stands on the LGBTqai community. I love how author shares more and more other communities in the lgbtqai+. It not just one we are learning from out make character. Everyone even the side characters get talk about themselves and how they felt when talking about it. They didn't know how there friends and family would take it so they didn't want to be judge by them. Getting back stories on people who are in the main character life are very important to the story if story want to process more if they are introduced. As the story process we learn more and more about chicka how certain things as kids she was told to be more mature at her age because they weren't in elementary store anymore, how chika only care about boys. But she finds people in college who loves the same anime she grow up on and have a Marathon on it. I am really happy that I got to really this story because I have someone who close to me who is asexual and I learned alot more about as I went.
