Yuki Sakamoto is a sixteen-year-old runaway. She’s trying to cope with the loss of her grandmother, but can’t even bring herself to visit the family grave. Soon, she meets Kenjiro Furukawa, a seventeen-year-old girl in an abandoned house. As their unlikely friendship develops, each realize their deeper feelings for each other.

If you enjoy reading the minutiae of a slow burning female relationship, captured through conversations, stories and outings, then this is the book for you. The story is set in Japan, and author Hailey Sawyer captures a believable backdrop. Sometimes stories do not need to be about big adventures and cliff hangers. This book is subtle in its message and I found it a worthy read.
