Really sweet and soft and loving

Not the best book, but certainly entertaining. I think it either is your taste or not.

The book starts off as a cute lesbian love story between two non-white characters, really sweet! Loved the Japanese bits and even learned some of the words. Lots of open discussion about racism and sexuality which is great. But about halfway, things get very cliché, predictable, and just not fun to read. Did not finish.[Spoilers ahead]There are multiple cheating storylines which is not my thing. First with Sana's dad, then Sana herself, with a BOY of all people, even though she has confirmed for herself she is a lesbian. Sana's friends are not accepting she's a lesbian, even though Sana thinks her coming out "went great". Her friends also mention "kissing guys is more fun", and "how do you know you're only into girls", and the all-time favourite "you just haven't met the right guy". I would not recommend this book to anyone, especially not queer teens who might be questioning their sexuality, and then reading these homophobic comments by Sana's friends which are then not dealt with.

Heerlijk boek!! Luistert lekker weg!!

Love te story really nice to see different perspectives. I like the writing easy and good to follow. Did listen to it way to quick.

Mooi, lief verhaal dat me boeide en m'n inzicht in subtiele/complexe vormen van racisme vergrootte. Tikje dramatisch voorgelezen wel, en het "alles loopt in de soep" gedeelte van het verhaal ging me wat ver. Werd gecompenseerd door de mooie rol voor poëzie en de groei van de hoofdpersoon.
