5/26/2023 0 Comments Himawari House by Harmony BeckerSo reading “Himawari House” by Harmony Becker was one of those books where I enjoyed seeing others do what I never did, even if their reasons and experiences would have been wholly different from my own had I taken the leap. So I like to read stories about people who take the leap, even if it makes me feel a certain sense of melancholy. My anxiety was too big of a hurdle to overcome, as was my mild separation anxiety from my loved ones when we’re apart for extended periods of time. Review: One of my big regrets from my youth is that I never did a study abroad program through school. But will they be able to hold one another up as life tests them with new loves, old heartbreaks, and the everyday challenges of being fish out of water? The trio live together, share meals, and even attend the same Japanese-language school, which results in them becoming fast friends. There she meets Hyejung and Tina, two other girls who came to Japan to freely forge their own paths. When Nao returns to Tokyo to reconnect with her Japanese heritage, she books a yearlong stay at the Himawari sharehouse.
