This book is out of pocket. Challenging and provocative but not for the faint of heart. Don’t let the easy to understand, conversational tone fool you.

By having wildly alianated main characters, Sakaya Murata puts correct observations about the state of society in a whole new perspective. This was an excellent read. It's not everyone's cup of tea but it's definitely good and it is definitely my cup of tea.

This book has some very triggering content so please protect yourself and check the content warnings. However it was not as weird, gross and gory as some of the other reviews would've let me to believe. Especially if you're a horror fan, the horror is pretty mild.
