3.5 ☆

This is quite a difficult book to review for me. On the one hand, there was plenty that I liked about it, but on the other it didn't really work for me? 

I liked the fake dating, gorced proximity, he falls first, and lovers to enemies to lovers aspects; I found the whole friendship group a bit baffling, but maybe that's on me because I don't have that sort of friendship circle myself. Very codependant anyways. Not a huge fan of the miscommunication trope, at all - so that did fall flat for me. And the whole group were lying or hiding things from each other, and themselves, which drove me insane! Doesn't seem very friendly, is all I'm saying. 

I'd still recommend it to others to read, but I wouldn't read it again myself.

Soothing, and calm story of a woman's summer in Tokyo. Beautiful.
