    A short love story, done in a traditional Japanese love story way. Not my typical read. It was very sad and had a more traditional Japanese fairy-tale ending. The writing needed to be flushed out a bit more, but on a whole, a good first story.

    I received a free copy of this book in exchange for a non-reciprocal review.(This review will contain spoilers).I usually don't comment on the covers, but I will mention I like this cover. I'm a sucker for art.This is a short but sweet book. Because of its length, I'd say the story revolves more around a concept than developing characters. We fly through certain portions of their lives, being told a lot about what happens rather than shown. If you're looking for a quick, interesting take on a tragic love story that's fine. It's a pretty sweet, innocent love story with an ending that is up for interpretation.The narration is stilted but I believe that's done purposefully, to make it sound like it was translated from Japanese. I read Japanese translations all the time so it didn't really bother me. The dialogue sounded more like a historical manga than a modern one to me, but I don't pick up a lot of romances so it could just be modeled after a genre I don't follow.Honestly, the author could probably take this exact same story and flesh it out into something much bigger. As I mentioned, we get told a lot, so it would be easy to expand on parts and spend a lot more time with the characters. The overall story is pretty solid, and it's a good concept.It would be a good book for someone to pick up if they're looking for a quick, romantic read and don't mind some sad twists.

     Good, not great story. I found myself wanting to rush through it to the end at times. Slowing down is worth it, though.

    Moonlight starts with the first day Tadao and Yuzuki met. They take turns in sharing their side of how they saw their childhood, of becoming best friends - lovers eventually. They're separated but vow to meet again as adults. Will they stand a chance?!Gekkō-san might hold a key, but David Rose has got one too: Alternating narrators, romance meets tragedy, modern Japan and old beliefs with a sprinkle of magic. It flows unbelievably smooth! This, however, does not take away you might ride a few waves (and possibly get a little dust in your eye Å_Å )! This novella had a bigger impact on me than expected and looking forward to read more of Rose's works!
