omg- this book is so amazing for representation for neurodivergents! ugh keiko does own my heart now, but the way that the culture of our world is shown in a different way through this book really touches my heart. It would have a 5 stars if its wasnt for the comments on the front whats that about??? Like it makes no sense why are they saying its quirky and funny?? Its really quite sad and disturbing at times lmao

A really great book that cured my reading slump and really made me reflect. This is the sort of book that would be perfect for an English class because there are many themes throughout the book and questions that are posed and left for interpretation and while being out of school, I'm really tempted to write a few five paragraph thesis essays about this book.

Auch wenn das Setting perfekt dafür ist, über Misogynie, Kapitalismus und die moderne (japanische) Gesellschaft zu sprechen, liest sich das für mich viel eher als ein langer innerer Monolog einer neurodivergenten Frau. Sie lässt uns daran teilhaben, wie sie durch diese Welt navigiert, worin Sie Sinn findet und woran sie sich stößt. Ich fand's schade, dass das Buch so ein schnelles Tempo hat und hätte mir zu gerne noch etwas mehr von Keikos Innenleben angesehen. Hab es trotzdem innerhalb von ein, zwei Stunden verschlungen, hat mir insgesamt sehr gut gefallen.
