I've seen so many people say they've not read anything quite like this, and in some ways I would agree, but actually it reminds me a lot of translated Japanese middle-grade/young adult fiction (think kiki's delivery service). It has the same prose flow and general vibes. 

Anyway, it was a fun read.

Pros:
 ðŸŒ‚ MCs are super cute together and their flirtations are very subdued and sweet

 ðŸŒ‚ The setting is aMAZING and unique in every possible way. Travelling through puddles, towns that create the night sky each night by flying kites, trains running on raindrops etc. there is a plethora of fun stuff to explore.

Cons:
 ðŸŒ‚  Weird romantic tension with a 3rd wheel who's character is as flat as the paper he folds

 ðŸŒ‚ That ending?? Man what the hell lol. What a rollercoaster, but I still can't decide if I liked it or not.
