Mimi

3.75

Other than the way situations were situating like the kiss and the part at the club, this was really cute and I had fun with it. I couldn't help but roll my eyes at parts I knew the author wanted me to be kicking my legs because of how fanfiction-y some of those situations were, but I was smiling throughout all of this.

There were times it felt a little bit boring and found myself putting it down for a couple of days, but I think that's because I thought we were going to go on some of these investigations. Instead, it's a very “put these two in situations" type of story and I had to rewire my brain for that.

I liked all of the characters and their family dynamic’s cute. Lisa going “You guys looked like a family” almost made me cry and is the reason I need this physically on my shelf. Jiu and Yano keeping their distance from each other because of their work and not knowing each other's feelings could've been so annoying to read but it wasn't and I appreciate that so much.

Everyone's super cute and I love them.

4.75

I'll come back with a little bit of something to say, but just so you know.......

crying and laughing and screaming and giggling and kicking my feet and crying and crying and crying

Girl help (derogatory): I know what door I choose to open. I've not had the best experience with Nagabe so far and yet I'm here reading his 2nd most “not for me" book I'm aware of...

Girl help (affectionate): *looks at self in the mirror* what do you mean you need eat by nagabe on your shelf right now whadda hell

I'll update this later, but... yeah.

3.5 || full series - 3

But a high 3.5, just not a 3.75 which is funny because on sites where I have to give full stars I'm giving this 4... Will update this with my thoughts later.
