Seashells isn't a conventional love story; it doesn't follow the grand declarations of love or plain rivalry-based romances. It's a slow-burn romance that includes topics of professionalism, ethics and the vulnerability of social media.

What I loved in the story were the characters; they were all lively and had personalities that served more than being the background cast for the main couple.

Koharu, the actress, was entertaining. Always concerned about her looks. Definitely mommy and attachment issues. But all that made her adorable, and reading about her was fun.
Nagumo, the nurse, was stoic, burnt out and sarcastic. He tried his best to remain professional if you look past his smoking and sarcassm.
Dr Shimazu and Soujiro, being the secondary couple, were also great. Their only purpose wasn't to make sure the main couple is happy, like in most romances. They had their own dates and life.
Mr Oda, Amelia and that one Koharu's rival were also memorable characters.

The idea of medical ethics was well incorporated in the story. The act of falling in love with your patient and the possible consequences exist but are hardly talked about. I was glad the story dealt with this matter and, in fact, nailed it. So it wasn't a story solely about discovering if a celebrity falls in love, but it also raised the question if the healthcare professional fell in love. So yeah, fun story.

To conclude, this story is a must-read for those who love slow drama-filled romances.
