This is THE WEIRDEST book I have ever read. I thought this was going to be a story about a girl who thought she was an alien…and it is but there’s SO MUCH more to it. Certain scenes were hard to get through (check trigger warnings). I did like how the author pointed out the pressures that are put on women in society. But be warned, this book is VERY weird and VERY disturbing.

If you're considering reading this book, please take a moment to read the trigger warnings first. Don't make the same mistake I did and dive in blindly. I managed to get through 32% of it, but it was too much for me to handle.

 I previously enjoyed another book by this author, the convenience store one, and I adored the main character. She was incredibly interesting. However, the male character in this book made the reading experience unpleasant for me, although I did enjoy the other aspects of the story. I hoped this one would be better.

Initially, I was drawn to the innocence of the main character and the magical girl/ alien elements in this book, so I had high hopes for it. Unfortunately, I was quickly bombarded with trigger after trigger. I attempted to continue reading, but the content related to school was simply overwhelming.
the teacher raped the girl and it was descriptive on page

 I'm hopeful that I'll be able to forget what I read soon.
