About this listen

“Why do you need to forget him?”Tooru Naruse’s life at university was mundane—until he met Izumi Wataya. Having fallen in love at first sight, he confesses his feelings for her, and she agrees to date him on one condition: He must promise never to fall in love with her. Thus, their pretend relationship begins—but Izumi cannot forget about her past love, and the attempt is short-lived. Hoping to learn who that person was and the reason behind her fleeting wistful expressions, Tooru reaches out to Izumi’s best friend from high school, Maori Hino. However, maybe some things are best kept secret… Fantasy Fiction Romance

So, to summarise, this book is told from Izumi's prospective (mostly) and covers the events of her college life, some bits of the future are largely the past.

The book is described as seeing the events through Izumi's eyes which is does but thankfully, instead of being a re-telling from her point of view, its mostly content not featured in the original with only some minor areas where they cross similar content, which is again made to feel different due to seeing Izumi's view which is vastly different from what she lets on in the original book.
As a whole, it's a fun way to get another prospective, see what college offered Izumi and we also get a look into what the future holds for her and Hino.
If you enjoyed the first book you will certainly enjoy this.

The cast return from the first book, it mostly is told via Izumi's prospective and we have a new characters (who is picked up by Earl aka Kamiya's original voice) so this is largely redeeming. Hino does have a couple of chapters told via her prospective again which do clear up some stuff too.

Only issue i had was pretty minor but the new character is named Tooru (same name as the main character from the first book), of course his family name is different and they do make a play on this later but it feels like this was done for no other reason than some minor event near the end, which whilst it didn't get overly confusing, the first chapter (or two) certainly kept me confused why they made this choice. But it's a small gripe, it was otherwise easy to overlook.

Great sequel and worth your time if you enjoyed the first book.
