What a strange book, and I mean that in the best possible way. I enjoyed it from start to finish. It was humorous but also made my tummy ache at times. 

Keiko was a great main character. You understand her, her actions, and her thoughts, even though sometimes she can have a not-so-average mindset. Despite her uniqueness, I still found myself sympathizing with her and reflecting on her.

I think it was a great story, but I do not think I fully understand the ending. Not that the ending was not good and fitting. I just do not think I fully understand what the ending is trying to say. That is a me problem and not the book's fault.

This book was unputtdownable. I read it in just a few hours. Keiko's inner monolog was just so interesting. I found her work very relaxing and comforting. 

This book really sheds a light on how demanding society can be. And how we put ourselves and others under so much pressure. 

Shiraha on the other hand was SO annoying. And I really could have gone my whole life without meeting him.
