Great book, took a long time to read, descriptive dialogue. For more matured readers.??????

Funny. Especially the ghost pepper part!

4.5 stars. I’m a fan of Ashley Poston and have been looking forward to this book that combines magical realism, romance and song. I loved how each chapter is a lyric. The book has touching dementia representation. While I think the “magic” of the book was well executed, it’s hard not to have a critical lens of a mind reading situation in which both main characters can tap into each other’s thoughts. My other gripe was how the male main character went by two names throughout the book, which somehow messed with my perception of their bond. Still, I enjoyed this book and will read more from Ashley Poston in the future. I listened to the audiobook with its narration by Patti Murin.

I could read it all day

Like another book in this series on which he collaborated with another author, this lacks the humor and quirkiness of his other novels. It’s well written and an interesting story, but not quite as entertaining.

It was super funny I Loved it

A beautiful read. This is one to be read slowly and savored as the writing and story telling are elegant.

Really good, chilling ending and never guessed right about who was good or bad...

I’m just very impressed with this book

First in a series. Cat and mouse between a Tokyo detective and a school teacher who has confessed to murdering the famous author who blackmailed him into ghost writing his newest books. The detective feels there’s something wrong with the confession and so dives into the childhoods of each man..
