The start of this drama-shoujo sets up a love vector between a girl, her childhood friend, and the new transfer student. The twist? After an accident, she forgot the first 11 years of her memory, and the new transfer student might have some secrets regarding her past. The main character is unsure of where she's going-- whether she's falling in love, or drowning under the weight of her mysterious past.
This ended up being a 2.5 I had to round down. This shoujo had an interesting premise but was lacking something extra. None of the characters were particularly compelling and the plot felt dramatically cyclical. The cliffhanger didn't even get me, and I was overall disappointed by this one. It might have been better on its own, but I read it in between shoujo I liked much better which made what I didn't like about this one shine. I didn't feel any chemistry and I left this book not caring about any of it, which is not what I want from a shoujo! Shoujo should make your whole chest feel alive, and this made my heart fall asleep.
