This is going to be an odd rating, because not only do I expect other people to give this five stars, I completely understand their feelings, too. Still, while this is a really good novel (especially considering this was her debut!) when looking at it objectively, it sadly left me feeling rather cold and this is not what I expect to feel when reading a BL novel. And actually I think I've said this before reviewing another of her novels. Only one of her books managed to really get to me (and then all the way) - the others kept me strangely at a distance, while I kept admiring the way she writes. An odd feeling. I definitely recommend reading her books and I will keep reading them, too.
