A Flower on the Back of His Head Novel Review

My Thoughts on A Flower on the Back of His Head

"A Flower on the Back of His Head" is a charming little story that I devoured in one sitting. It’s the kind of fluffy, feel-good novel that's perfect when you need a quick escape from reality. It's a modern office romance with a touch of the whimsical, and I found myself smiling throughout most of it.

First Impressions

The premise immediately grabbed me: an office worker who can see a flower representing his cold CEO's mood. It's unique and quirky, and I was eager to see how the author would develop this concept. I went in expecting a light and fluffy read, and that's precisely what I got.

What Works Well

The sweetness of the story is definitely its strongest point. The interactions between the main characters are adorable, particularly the MC's reactions to the flower on his boss's head. The author does a good job of portraying the MC's naivete in a way that's endearing rather than frustrating. I also appreciated the straightforward nature of the ML's pursuit; it cut through the usual romantic tension and made for a refreshing change. The pacing is perfect for a short story, keeping things moving without feeling rushed. It's a delightful read that manages to be cute without being cringey, and the office setting feels realistic and relatable.

Areas of Concern

The ending felt a little abrupt. While I appreciate a concise story, I couldn't help but wish for a bit more closure. It ends so quickly that it feels like a chapter is missing. Also, while the ML's "blandness" was a plus for some, allowing a break from the 'overbearing CEO' trope, others may find his character a little lacking in depth.

Final Verdict

Overall, "A Flower on the Back of His Head" is a delightful, short, and sweet read that I would recommend to anyone looking for a light-hearted escape. While the ending could have been more fleshed out, the story's charm and unique premise make it a worthwhile read. I'd happily give it a 4 out of 5 stars. It's the perfect comfort read for a rainy day.
