Welp it finally happened folks. A Kawaguchi Book that wasn’t an immediate 5⭐️. Honestly I was certain of this from the very first story. I just didn’t feel that same emotional connection to the character as with other stories. Same goes to some extent with the main girl from The Proposal story. The switch from 3rd person to 1st person was also something that I didn’t particularly like. Which wasn’t even consistent in the book itself, seeing as the last one was a classic story. Also I don’t like how
Kohtake is I think pretending to be a nurse to Mr Fusagi? What happened to the original plot of the movie?
I don’t know I just was a bit disappointed by this book to be honest. I hope the next one isn’t the same.
