This was such a fun and beautiful read! I feel in love with both Payton and Darcy l, and they banter was so good! I really love this type of dynamic where the two people are able to make fun of each other while still falling in love. The disability rep was also an incredible addition, it was clearly done with respect. I usually find romance boring but this book was really charming from the get go.

"Traveling is living in a foreign place." "Living?" "As in, experiencing all four seasons of normal life in a foreign place. Leaving behind a home environment where one's habits have settled into old, tired ways and spending one's days somewhere else, trying to find some new feeling in the mere act of being alive in this world. In this sense, travelina is a way of cleansing one's body and mind-starting afresh."
I wish this was an attainable way traveling for everyone... like I wish I could just drop my life and go somewhere for a year and live a different culture for a bit. she's definitely a privileged person and I envy this type of privilege.

I don't know what I expect this book to be about but it wasn't this. I was pleasantly surprised to be taken on a trip of a japanese-colonized Taiwan, to learn of a part of history I knew nothing about, to taste foods I have never even heard of. To fall in love with a complicated friendship and loving relationship. Both the women of this story are deeply complex. Adding to the whole story the behind the scenes of the journey to get this story published, and then translated and then retranslated. It was a beautiful onion jurney.
