Katie can’t make out too much of what the two are arguing about, except that Tomohiro is a huge jerk who has gotten another girl pregnant. On her way back in, Katie bumps into a couple arguing and tries her best to hide behind her locker, but it’s no use Tomohiro has already seen her. Being warned that there is arguing and fighting going on in the hallway, Katie ignores the advice and goes in anyway, embarrassed to have left school with her indoor slippers on. At the beginning of the book, Katie is eating lunches of bento boxes stuffed with peanut butter and jelly sandwiches.įorgetting to take off her school slippers when leaving one day, Katie decides to head back into the building and change her shoes. She doesn’t speak the language, she doesn’t know how to eat with chopsticks, and she doesn’t like the food. Japan is an entirely different world and Katie has been thrown right into the middle of it.

And as if things aren’t bad enough, Katie isn’t allowed to move in with her grandparents because of her grandfather’s health, and is instead shipped to live with her aunt in Japan. Not only did she lose her mum, but also her closest friend. Many changes occur with the death of a parent, but with the death of Katie’s single mother, Katie’s life is completely shattered. Katie Green has recently lost her mother and, with it only weeks behind her, she is still dealing with the loss in every single aspect of her life. I had no idea how amazing the storyline or the characters would be! I had no clue just how big a decision Katie would have to make by the end of the story and what she finally decides to do. Before I begin my review for Ink, I just wanted to let you know that I had no idea what I was getting myself into when I began this book.
