4.5/5
Volume 3 of Sakura, Saku continues right where we left off. Saku is trying to be a good friend to Kotono, but is also trying to be true to herself. Will her goody two-shoe-ness be rewarded on the end? Or will she forever remain a side character?
Nooooooooooo~ why was it so short :(((((
I hated and loved the plot all at the same time. Like I understand we need drama but pleaseeeee no more drama.
Again, ever since Ap Haru Ride I have been an avid stan of Io Sakisaka. I will devour every book they release from now until the end of time. (Except Strobe edge lol)

In this third volume we add in a love triangle and fake dating element and I’m really enjoying how these familiar tropes are playing out
I can’t wait for volume four!

Every time I read another one of the books in this series I have to go back and skim the others because I can never remember what this series is about. Once I start reading it, it slowly comes back to me, but also in a confusing kind of way. There are so many details that I forget, and even at some points the main point of the first book. Which to be honest, I don't even know if that is a factor in the story anymore. There are a lot of similarities between the 2 main characters in this story and Kou & Futaba from Ao Haru Ride, but there are some differences too. There is even a scene drawn very similarly when they look into each others eyes - which I think is one of the more iconic scenes from Ao Haru Ride. It was like a cute homage to herself. I can remember that story better than this one and I read it years ago, I'm not sure why this story isn't sticking with me like some of her others. We still have some problems with friends and miscommunications - hopefully these start to become less of an issue as the story goes on.
Thank you to #NetGalley for an advance e-copy of #SakuraSakuVol3 by Io Sakisaka to read and review.
