Gifted each other a book while in a bookshop during our holiday, which is fun to do anyway, now I'm eager to hear what she thinks of my pick for her (Atmosphere by Taylor Jenkins Reid) and what I think of this one - I think it's going to be a cozy read, transporting me back to Tokyo Japan 😊

The dialogue feels stifled to me; would that be mainly in the translation or is it part of the writing? The main character feels quite immature for her age and judgmental. Obvious observations are constantly given the gravitas of epiphanies.
The one thing I am enjoying is the setting in Jombocho, which is very atmospheric.
I do hope the characters come to feel less one dimensional as the story goes on.
