It’s summertime， but the living isn’t easy。 Adachi has plans （does she ever）， but Shimamura might have more than one person vying for her attention。 Adachi’s natural tendency is to keep her feelings to herself， so what’s going to happen if that dam actually breaks？This book。 I already found that I’d been sucked into this ongoing story with the last instalment， somewhat to my chagrin， but I’ve now firmly convinced myself that this series is actually getting better as it goes。 This one just takes It’s summertime， but the living isn’t easy。 Adachi has plans （does she ever）， but Shimamura might have more than one person vying for her attention。 Adachi’s natural tendency is to keep her feelings to herself， so what’s going to happen if that dam actually breaks？This book。 I already found that I’d been sucked into this ongoing story with the last instalment， somewhat to my chagrin， but I’ve now firmly convinced myself that this series is actually getting better as it goes。 This one just takes things to a whole other level。The first half is a lot of maneuvering and table setting as Adachi figures she’ll have a checklist of Shimamura-centric activities and they can just tick them off one by one。 Once Shimamura’s old-now-new friend Tarumi gets involved， however， things get messy。Tarumi is not explicitly shown to have designs on Shimamura， but she might。 Shimamura might have an inkling。。。 maybe。。。？ But they’re definitely going to a festival together。 And Adachi’s restaurant is sure having her work a stand there。 This entire first part is like the most excruciating slow-motion car crash as you watch it nudge closer and closer。。。 then。。。 yeah。It’s so very good at building the dread and hopping between the viewpoints of our two leads and then， oh man， then。。。 then it happens。 When Adachi tries to figure out what was going on， it is a piece of tragic， emotionally vicious storytelling that just demolished me when I read it。 After bottling everything for four novels， Adachi has more spoken dialogue in one multi-page explosion of feels than the entire series combined。 It is an absolute moment of pure emotional emptying that made me believe in this series。 My heart was in pieces by the end of that scene。You could see this as a bit much， a little over the top， but I don’t。 As somebody whose ADHD manifests as a lot of emotional dysregulation and had also seen that especially come out when I was a teenager in love， where what you’re outputting is out of your control and you have no clue where the other person is。。。 I get it。 This scene is the most real thing in this story and I have lived it and it is scarily， depressingly， perfectly accurate。Seriously， bring back the anime just so I can watch an actress destroy that scene。Then the story pulls its other trick and there is no way this isn’t deliberate - Shimamura’s omnipresent narration vanishes right when we need it most and we just follow Adachi’s thoughts to the ending。 Seeing Shimamura’s mixed messages and not knowing what she feels after the argument （and make no mistake， the way she cuts Adachi down in that moment is as savage as it could be with an absolute paucity of words）， well， it puts the audience firmly in poor Adachi’s shoes。Even as the girls make up， the ghost of that argument haunts the entire back half。 Shimamura’s attempts to “fix” Adachi go about as well as you’d think， it is super hard to tell if she’s thoughtful or fed up， but the fight has uncorked something in Adachi and the ending’s been a long time coming but I love what the latter comes to realize （other best scene in the book）。Make no mistake， this relationship is crazy unhealthy as presented thus far。 Adachi is （still） drowning in her own hormones and asking so much from the inscrutable wall that is Shimamura and who knows what the latter is thinking？ But， teenagers， I get it。 Sometimes all you can do is try and you do have to remember that Shimamura still perceives （assumedly） Adachi as a super clingy loner friend， not somebody grappling with her sexuality and attraction to her sole friend。5 stars。 I am so helplessly invested in this story now。 Adachi’s closing declaration， a mysterious new girl who shows up for five seconds （and she doesn’t seem to have interest in who you’d expect）， whatever the hell Shimamura’s thinking。。。 there are tons of plot hooks here and they are embedded in your humble reviewer annoyingly deep。 Top three of my ongoing light novels， no question。 。。。more

Se nos mostró una parte de Sakura que veo algo tóxico bueno pero era de esperarse conociendo lo introvertida que es， y gracias a Shimamura se dio cuenta de que alguna manera debía cambiar esa parte。 Por otro lado disfrute mucho leyendo la parte de Tarumi y Shimamura， es realmente agradable ese sentimiento de recuperar una amistad。
