There were a lot of things I enjoyed while reading Ink. Making new friends, fitting in in school being the only blond and non-Asian student while trying her best to keep up with the Japanese signs and learning everything she needs while longing for her grand-parents in Canada and still being very sad and angry about her mom’s death is a big part of her as well.
Language difficulties, cultural differences and adjusting to life without her parents are part of Katie’s daily life now. Ink follows Katie’s first few months in Japan, where she arrives after her mother’s death to live with her aunt Diane. *I received a free ARC of Ink from Harlequin TEEN via Netgalley in exchange of an honest review. Not knowing what is real and what isn't, Katie struggles with her grief, her loneliness and what she at first thinks is a very vivid imagination playing tricks on her. At the same time, she notices some strange things, like drawings that move, a boy who seems to pretend he hates his girlfriend while he breaks up with her, and another with ties to the Yakuza. Everything is new to her, and it is not exactl easy for her to fit in. Katie had to move to Japan after her mother's sudden death, instead of living with her grand-parents in Canada.
