Burned-Out Rika Can't Take Care of Herself
USD 1.99 / 199pt
When middle school teacher Rika's lack of self-care catches up to her, she quits her job to recover her health and ends up taking a part-time gig at the local Chinese restaurant: no overtime, no take-home work, and two delicious employee meals a day. The owner Momose and his lack of brain-to-mouth filter prove to be a handful, but his amazing cooking shoots Rika's quality of life straight through the roof! This exhausted overachiever is realizing that being a "proper adult" is harder than it seemed... and her journey of healing might just come with a side of romance!

A mature romance that hits in all the right placesThis story celebrates the different paths that people choose and how they all have the potential to lead to happiness. I love how they confront many elements, thoughts and worries that adults have as they go through life, and how they say it's okay not to know exactly what you want out of life. What a breath of fresh air!

Lovely slow burn romanceReading this is soothing... Realistic complex characters with emotional depth who are doing their best to deal with life's challenges. The romance aspects are understated but feel so warm and cozy.

A soothing, relatable story about a woman finally learning to give herself a break. As someone who's been in a similar spot as Rika once upon a time, this one hits pretty close to home, but it keeps things light and focuses more on the warmth and healing than anything. It's a great look at all the different shapes happiness, family, and success can take. Plus, the domestic moments with Momose and little Hinata are so cute!!!
