I don't know how I feel honestly. It was an easy read, although getting introduced too Ms. Furukura as a character was weird. She is a very interesting character though. It is also an interesting concept and perspective but pretty slow paced. Somehow it makes sense how well they work together, but it also doesn't? Would recommend it for a quick read.

i read this a few years ago, when i was in quite a dark place of my own.
i enjoyed this author's other work better; it took me somewhere, while for this book i felt like i was trapped outside of a room i couldn't be let into, one i couldn't wrap my mind around.

“I no longer knew what standard to live by. Until now, my body had belonged to the convenience store, even when I wasn’t working. Sleeping, keeping in good physical shape, and eating nutritiously were all part of my job. I had to stay healthy for work.”

"You eliminate the parts of your life that others find strange—maybe that's what everyone means when they say they want to 'cure' me."

This is an unusual yet compelling book.
