Book Review: Are we there yet?
Summary: 3 Stars
I love this series. It's cute, it has all of the things I like, & the main character started off as a verifiably ugly girl. However, the only problem I have is that this series drags out every plot point (whether it's a main event or if it's a minor plot point). The series has almost a "monster of the day" quality to it in that almost every other chapter Sunako has some sort of crisis where she's forced to dress up "like a lady", rebel against dressing up, have people call her ugly, only to then have her show her "inner beauty" & revert back to the way she was before. It's cute, it's fun, but it's getting a little bit old. You can only tread water for so long before the series starts to sink & suffer for it.
When I first picked up this volume, I was excited since this was supposed to be the volume where Sunako meets the boy that made her into what she is today. I imagined tons of different scenarios, but I was a bit dissapointed by what I actually ended up reading. Sunako is invited to a reunion party for her class, only to run into her old crush. Rather than use this to create a major turning point, TH instead fizzles the scene & underuses the potential. The rest of the stories are typical fare for the series & are honestly forgettable. (I'll explain in more detail in the comment section.)
Would I recommend this? If you are like me & are collecting the series (and hoping that eventually something will happen to move the plot along), then yes. If you are a reader that decided to stop collecting the series until the storyline picked back up, then I'd wait for a few more volumes.
