I find this review offensive! I don’t agree with this review. I agree with this review.
3 stars (Good Enough) Wealthy city-folk living well on a single income (unlike NZ) vs humble working-class folk from Okinawa. Complex & unpredictable - therefore interesting. Very sensitive interactions. More about the dysfunctional adults than about the swapped children. ~Sandy
