Lovely story, I was surprised by the modernity of it all and the author did a good job writing a more western piece. It was funny reading about them listening to Luke Faulkner on Spotify, because I also enjoy Luke Faulkner, a not mainstream piano player.

The story is very romantic and passionate— a well-paced short story taking place over only 4 days, and I liked both of the protagonists characterizations. I even thought the side characters who played very minor roles were nicely written. 9/10 recommend.

4.5/5

Passionate and very well-translated. It’s a short story that I’d definitely say is worth a read. The story moves at a good pace, and is full of detail. I thought it would be a sort of generic story: boring “straight” guy meets manic pixie twink who opens up a whole new world. It is sort of that, but it’s so much more. Glad I read it.

I have mixed feelings about the twist, but it was definitely hinted at throughout the story so it wasn’t a superfluous addition, just a surprising one
