Fun follow-up to Fresh

Unlike the Heartcatch novel, this contains entirely new scenes set after the events of the anime series. Unlike the Suite novel, this is pretty satisfying and fun to read. Language difficulty wise, it's easier to read than either Heartcatch or Suite. The hardest thing is Tarte's Kansai-ben.

Each of the main 4 got good segments in this novel and it managed to have drama and mystery that didn't get super depressing. One star subtracted because for some reason they decided dance didn't matter at all to the team, which is extremely weird. If they had committed to dance as a main theme like in the show (or at least had even one girl consider it as a future career), I would've given it 5 stars. Too bad.
