Summary

**Dear, My Darling** 🍒💌 Yuzuki Hanamo has known Ritsu Hoshino her entire life. He's annoying, infuriating, and far too good at making her heart race. To her, he's just her childhood best friend. To him, she's been everything for years. Between chaotic summer days in Sagae, Japan, unexpected jealousy, almost-confessions, and letters Ritsu has never dared to give her, their friendship begins to change in ways neither is prepared for. But when the Sagae Festival arrives, will Ritsu finally confess the feelings he's kept hidden for years—or will he lose his chance with the girl he's always loved? Sometimes, the hardest person to fall in love with is the one who's been beside you all along. 🍒💗

💌 A Little Note from the Author 🍒

Welcome to Dear, My Darling! 🌸💗

This story is about childhood best friends, ridiculous misunderstandings, jealous glances, unsaid feelings, and the kind of love that quietly grows between two people who have always been there for each other.

Meet Yuzuki Hanamo, a chaotic sunshine who has absolutely no idea what’s happening to her heart, and Ritsu Hoshino, a teasing menace who’s been hopelessly in love with her for years. Put them together, and you get one big romantic disaster. 😭💕

Set in the beautiful city of Sagae, Japan, this story is filled with cherry blossoms of memory, cherry-filled mischief 🍒, summer nostalgia, festival adventures, handwritten letters, and a confession that’s been waiting far too long.

If you love childhood friends to lovers, mutual pining, slow-burn romance, romantic comedy, jealousy, fluff, and happy endings, I hope you’ll feel right at home here.

Thank you for giving these two idiots a chance. Every read, vote, and comment means so much to me! 💗

Now, grab a snack, settle in, and prepare for chaos.

With love,The Author of Dear, My Darling 🍒💌
