I'm sorry but I don't get it- why is this book good? They just bully and abuse each other, mostly for no reasonable reason! Reading this was just giving me anxiety and making me uncomfortable!
Even though I didn't really enjoy reading this book, I still got through it quite quickly which says something about the writing and/or translation, so good job there!

I needed about a month to process this book, and I watched video after video trying to understand why people like it. I think I might understand now, the unreliable narrator and the theme of the cycle of abuse, were what I was missing. It isn't a favourite, but I am glad I read it in the end.
