Struggling to raise his young brother on his own, Shizuku has been working as a male companion in order to make ends meet. One day, he mistakenly thinks that his little brother has been kidnapped and attacks his neighbor, Tsujido. Seeing that the brothers need help, Tsujido starts to cook warm meals and care for them. For the first time, Shizuku got a taste of what it's like to be taken care of in a family...
Dinner for Three was a mixed read for me. On the positive side, I loved the premise, which had a lot of potential, and the illustrations, which looked great. However, I thought this book suffered a lot from its short length. Because of this, the relationship progressed at a pace that simply didn't feel realistic, going from nothing to sex in the space of a chapter. It was hard to really get behind this development in their relationship when it felt so awkward and sudden. I would have liked to have seen a more gentle progression to their developing feelings for each other. I think it didn't help that Shizuki, despite his actual age, was portrayed as so child-like it also made that sudden shift to a sexual relationship feel a little uncomfortable. Due to that dynamic, this book may not appeal to everyone, but overall it was an okay read, so I am giving it three stars.
I received this book as a free eBook ARC via Edelweiss in exchange for an honest review.
