A fun read, with an intriguing plot and compelling characters.
Idk if it was just me, but the characters' eyes looked wonky in some panels; otherwise the art throughout the story was good. The plot felt dragging at some parts and rushed at others. I definitely think that the story could have been executed better, with the appropriate time taken for each arc. I really loved how detailed the story was on perfumes, and the little perfume recipes at the end of the chapters, were such a fun addition🙂↕️

Judith, Luca and Ruediger, my loves🥰
We got to learn more about Luca and the original Judith's family history. I loved to see Judith and Ruediger's relationship blossoming more along with Luca being lowkey protective of Judith. It was such a lovely read and I can't wait to see what's next🙂↕️

War is Over!!! Finally, a happy ending for Edith! This was a really satisfying read. The plot flowed well, it didn't drag and there weren't any unnecessary pivots. The story was wrapped up neatly and i have no notes

This was such an enjoyable and insightful read. I was deeply captured and wanted to learn more about each character's story. They were well rounded and authentic people who left me greatly intrigued. This collection of short stories definitely has a re-read factor🙂↕️

This had been a highly anticipated read for me and unfortunately it was a very frustrating and draining experience. The characters, plot, honestly everything was just absolutely disappointing. The author had a great idea for a story but sadly the execution failed big time. This single handedly put me in a slump and I'm so irritated😞

This was a heartwarming story about familial history, the struggles with identity, grief, the nuances of migration and most of all love. This book was not only an excellent YA romance but it was also ver informative. I was reintroduced to a history I only knew a small bit about and also exposed to the rich culture of Saigon and it's street food. It was very eye-opening to see the different perspectives of these characters as Vietnamese people.
The theme of love was greatly interwoven within this story. We explored self-love, romantic love, familial love and the love one feels for a place they call home or have come to adore. Overall it was a very thought provoking story 4.75⭐️
