I thought this book was going to be an easy 5 stars, but the last part changed that...
The pacing, the story, the protagonist's traumatic, disturbed childhood and later approach to her wellbeing, are ingredients to make a stunner of a page-turner for me!
However, the pacing slows down in Chapter 5 (whilst the final chapter absolutely makes up for it) and that's the only reason it can't make the full five stars. Weird to say considering the unpredictability of this book, but a few of the plot lines were predictable too which lowered the rating a little more. But, a strong 4.5 stars, and desperately want to more books by Murata!
