This book is a bit depressing as i  showcases the cruelty of children when their peers look or act different from them or the general norm. Mieko's writing style made this a very enjoyable read despite the harshness of the topic.

Chapter Six was my favourite chapter and written section of the entire book. I can’t tell you how many times I re-read it, such beautiful writing. <3
