📖Recommend for Grades 8 and up📖
by Sarah Kuhn
After getting into a fight with her parents about dropping her advanced fine arts class, inspiring fashion designer Kimi Nakamura jumps at the invitation to visit her estranged grandparents in Kyoto. Her visit gets off to not the best start as meeting her grandparents for the first time is a bit awkward. Luckily, when it comes to having a tour guide around Kyoto, Kimi meets Akira, a cute guy who assists his uncle with his mochi business. Now Kimi is spending her time getting to know her grandparents and exploring her feelings for Akira, all while learning about her Japanese culture.
An adorable, sweet, and fun love story that you’ll be wishing you had some mochi to enjoy while reading. The book explores the relationship between Kimi and Akira, Kimi, and her family (both with her grandparents and her mother back home) and Kimi’s growth in Japan in a way that works well together. The story is also light despite the family drama. It helps that all the characters are very much likable. Some readers may be wishing they had Kimi’s grandparents as grandparents too.
