4.0

This was a quick, easy, and fun read. It is definitely the type of book that I would grab for a weekend trip. I really liked the plot, which was well developed. I also liked that Celeste was so natural and relatable.

There were some plot holes and the way that some of the relationships between characters was represented seemed underdeveloped and not well written. I would have liked to see more of an in depth look at the progression of feelings between Celeste and Takuya, mostly because it seemed that Takuya went from iceberg cold to raging inferno in the way he thought about and related to Celeste. I would also have liked to see more of a conclusion between Celeste and her new Japanese family.
