Cute! I was pleasantly surprised the book addressed the “manic pixie girl” vibes and Paul’s limited view of Taiwan. He was overall pretty bratty but came around eventually. Everything doesn’t change overnight but Paul’s perspective does after a fun journey around Taiwan with a sweet girl.
Peijing and her family were very accommodating. Usually, natives when they spot you lost somewhere are pretty helpful, but they were super nice! Depending on how cynical you are, this can feel farfetched or relatable.
The sketchiness of the artwork adds personality to the story. But I most liked the background/landscape shots. They were simplified but beautiful.
