I am a bit nervous going into this as I see reviews from both sides of the spectrum. Some readers DNF'ed the book and some truly loved the book.

Many compare this to TJ Klune's other book, The House In the Cerulean Sea, and find that it does not deliver as the previous one did.

Well...I am here for the ride.

Let's see how my mind receives this book.

Wow!
I can't wait to review this one.
It was deep!

I am not a fan of YA, but I feel like I can hang with this one.

I am captivated by the stories. After each one, I stop and have to reflect on what was presented.

Definitely one of the better Japanese Cozy Fiction books I have read.

Though my work schedule has got the best of me, I am moving along with this book.

We are introduced to interesting characters, but I am still trying to make sense of the plot...I wish the purpose would be revealed already.
For now, I would consider this a slow burn, but it has piqued my interest and therefore, I continue with my reading journey here.

I am fascinated by this book. I am reading it through Audible and enjoying every bit of it.

For me, I am drawn to the characters and what they represent. How they see view themselves, despite what society may think otherwise.
There is so much to unpack.

I almost don't want to finish this book!

I am 50% in and I am getting all the feels of cozy good vibes. I read two of the mini stories within the main story and they are still sitting on my heart.

This book definitely has my attention, but it is also teasing me a bit too.
Can't wait to see where it takes me!

This book was an Audible read for me.
Cozy and good feels.

This is an audible read for me.
It is interesting to hear it versus reading it. Not sure how I feel about this...

I am going to be the odd ball and I don't care (lol). Many people love this book and I don't understand why.
I am 30% in and I am not feeling this book.

The characters, the dialog, the premise....not here for it.
Even the constant sex is not arousing to me in any shape or form (I apologize if that is TMI).

I will keep pushing through since this is a book Club read, left to me, this torture would be over!

This was a good book. Preparing my comments and will post soon.

Interesting book!
Thank God I am finished.

Hmmm....developing some mixed feelings about this book now....BUT....I am still interested. Some of the characters are starting to annoy me. I will reserve my comments for later.

This book did not waste time setting the tone for what was yet to come. I am determined to finish this book now as I want to know what happened!
Did anyone else read this?

Oh, this book is so good!
I am intrigued by the culture, the colorful descriptions, and the ability of Alka Joshi to transport me to India from my living room, so that I can understand what is happening to the characters in this story!
