I needed a quick read to pull me out of a reading slump and this was pretty fun! I really liked reading from Keiko’s perspective, but I hated the rants that Shiraha went on. In general, I found him to be a pain.
I was really glad she cut him off and returned to doing what she felt the best at the end!!

 What. Did. I. Just. Read?

Strangely disturbing, strangely fascinating, a mix of intentional and unintentional commentary on society and conformity and life purpose. I really enjoyed a few points in this book, but found more it uncomfortable than I found it enjoyable. Recommended if you enjoy poking into random worldviews to see how they fit together.
