Interesting, fun, plot twists

Sad but realistic.... a new favorite author.

I wanted to like this book more, but the two main characters drove me a bit crazy with their indecisiveness.

This book was hauntingly sad and yet uplifting. A slim, beautiful novel that will surely stay with you for a long time.

Much like her other books, a charming romance set on Nantucket. Fun but predictable.

In this volume Mitsuki learns that fame causes some problems when there is a bomb in one of the birthday presents from her fans. We also learn about Izumi's horrible tearful past that he actually remembers. And something is wrong with Jonathan.

I had an advance reader’s copy of this. It will be out in September.

This volume is quite sad an does some jumping from the past to the present. Akiko is totally slacking off in college that she worked so hard to get into. She feels like she can't create anymore. Her sensei comes to visit her and yells a bit. She freaks out an does home. It is really sad. That's how the volume ends.

The group of friends playing out a mixer was such ridiculous chaos; I love how even though the characters are exaggerated, the way they act and heckle each other is so much like my friends'. Trying to give a gift to somebody you like but not being able to isn't something that happened to anyone I know, but it was still fun to see Sakura struggle to get Nozaki's attention because he was so busy enjoying the romance.

The series feels a bit like Mass Effect for a younger audience. I think I'd like it more if it discussed the new concepts it does introduce in greater detail.
