I love this, just like I do with every book I’ve read about loneliness. Though I found myself relating a lot to every character, finding pieces of myself in them. Something about the way loneliness was written in this feels so gentle. As if you are taking slow and tiny steps towards it so you wouldn’t scare it away.

I would say this book is no plot, just vibes, but there aren’t really vibes either. I guess that’s the point though because Fuyuko appears to be a nothing person. I think it’s good that I forced myself to read this because I didn’t relate to the character at all/gained a new perspective, but it was painful to read at times.

The ending with her writing the title of the book was super corny.
