From Nathan to Nanako by T. F. Wright is a Romance novel. It was released in February 2015(the publisher unknown). This book consists of twenty pages, and it is not suitable for young readers due to sexual content.
Nathan, the giant gentle-hearted boy who has a huge crush on Daniella, the hottest girl in school, finally gets the chance of his life. He never thought it was possible to receive a party invitation personally from Daniella, but he goes to her party hoping she is interested in him as well. Only when he arrives there, does he discover that she is interested in much more.
I will confess and say that I have read more romance novels than I could care to count, so I'm accustomed to most of the storylines they present. I usually don’t mind stereotyped characters, or overly used ideas or plots as long as the author has managed to make me enjoy reading the novel. Unfortunately, I cannot say the same to the author of this novel. This novel has all the flaws we find in romance novels nowadays, and I did not enjoy reading a single page.
The most prominent flaw I came across in this novel is its storyline. To say that this novel's storyline is empty or bland is an understatement. Since that this book consists of 20 pages, I finished it in thirty minutes. As soon as I finished, the first thing I said to myself out loud was "this can't possibly be the end". Also, this novel has a fantasy streak that I found irritating and misplaced. In addition to a bland storyline, the writing was sometimes awkward, and there was no adequate build-up of the love story. Plus the protagonist's reactions were exceedingly unrealistic to ignore.
Nathan's reactions toward the new unpredicted situation that came upon him where he was forced to change irrevocably were too infuriating and unrealistic, to say the least. I could not relate or even begin to comprehend how a boy agreed to erase completely more than his identity for a girl he only had a crush on. What bothered me the most were the ways he analyzed and justified her actions and his acceptance of this new situation.
Moreover, the writing style was not exceptional to erase some of these significant flaws from my measuring list. Although, the story is written from Nathan's point of view, there were a few sentences that I found a bit awkward. Along with these flaws, the length of the novel did not give enough room for the characters to develop, so they started and ended the story exactly as they were. This was a huge disappointment for me.
I'm not sure who this book would appeal to, but readers should be notified that this is a gender-swap story. I'm sorry to say that I give this book 1 out of 4 stars.
