How do I even start? I have no idea what to expect from this book when I started it, but the story itself ends up feeling rather anticlimactic. I love the vibrant colours, the art is beautiful. But the story is confusing and at most parts, I couldn't care less what was going on.

I like the fact that this story shares about a toxic relationship too; Catrin was obsessed with her AI partner, Rhion, and the relationship disconnected when Catrin found that Rhion was also in love with other people and not just her. Because of her obsession, she even considered another woman to be Rhion and tried to control her, which ended rather brutally.

I'm not sure what happened by the end, I really couldn't get the flow (and the amount or orgies are just too much for me) but I feel like she finally found the person that she truly loves and loves herself back is simply, herself.

Thank you Netgalley for the ARC in exchange for my honest review.

I've forgotten just how much I love the chemistry between Sky and Zed; their interactions before Sky learned about her true self were adorable and it's great to finally read it from Zed's perspective

Absolutely no idea what this book wants to prove. I loved the writing style when I first started reading it, but eventually I started to get bored of it. I didn't like that the whole book is descriptive, there were barely dialogues at all.

It had potential at first, but it just didn't reach me. Apart from Ces wanting to be a tattoo artist someday, there was literally no other reason for this book to have anything related to its title.

Took me ages to finish this one—but not because of the story at all. I was just distracted too many times. The moment I started reading it, I knew I'd give it a solid 5 stars. And I did! Perhaps I love this book even more than that

Sara finally realises her feelings for Takagi aAAAHHHHH THIS IS A HAPPY TIME TO BE ALIVE

But on the other side, Ellie and Omi's relationship is being tested again, my heart can't handle this :( I'm normally on Ellie's side because I can somehow understand her insecurities but this time I'm wholeheartedly with Omi. Omi bravely said during the interview that he didn't want to lie about not having a girlfriend, but Ellie went out of her way to claim she's not his girlfriend, thinking that's how she'd protect him. That is so wrong on so many level, of course Omi would get hurt by that :(

I just hope the issue will be resolved in the next volume, because it's clear they both cared too much for each other, to the point they can be overbearing at some point.

I think my favourite part of this volume would be when Ellie was made a substitute leader for the sports committee. Everyone relied on her, which really makes me happy because more people are finally noticing her :')))) /cues proud mum tears/

Ellie and Omi finally making up and being supportive of each other is definitely the best thing too ♡

Started this one randomly because I love the cover art and it's related to flowers–which I really love–and I have no regrets!

The base of the plot is kind of cliche, but fresh at the same time. Takamine is a pretty girl with perfect qualities, so it made everyone scared to approach her. But she ends up getting to know Saeki after running into him at his family's flower shop.

I'd say they're both easily loveable characters, and I'm already looking forward to more of their interactions! Takamine's awkward attempts at how she acts around Saeki was so cute to read, and I love how Saeki seemed to see her for who she is and didn't label her before actually getting to know her.

Pretty sure this series is going to be a wholesome read ♡

It's so cute to see how things are blooming between Takamine and Saeki. While we're still unsure with how Saeki feels towards Takamine (if he's in love or considers her a good friend), Takamine has developed feelings towards Saeki. I'm scared that she's going to be hard on herself for it because she's so not used to having these feelings or even befriending someone like Saeki.

The part where Saeki had to carry Takamine during a race was so cute and it's obvious that he noticed how much effort she gave into all the competition. Takamine part-timing at Saeki's family flower shop was a highlight too, I wish we can have more of that ♡

I've expected Takamine to be hard on herself because she's not good at expressing her feelings to people and she keeps putting herself down by thinking that she's bothering Saeki. But she tried her best and I love her so much for that.

It's also nice to see Saeki's POV (and yay he obviously loves her too) and knowing the reason why he's holding himself back so much. I hope that he'll stop feeling guilty towards his mother someday; he deserves to enjoy his youth too.

THEY'RE FINALLY ON FIRST-NAME BASIS AAAHHHH THIS VOLUME IS TOO CUTE MY HEART IS SO FULL
