Every book has it's autism moment. This books is 163 pages of autism moments. Usually I would love that, but there's a clear commentary here that isn't explored enough.

2.75 but couldn't bear to round up to a 3.
Really not sure about this one at aaaaall. It was a short read, only 163 pages, but I have to say the only reason I persued until the end is because I knew it would be over quickly

Really good short story that made me reflect on how to live life the right way. I really like that the main character is very different from the usual leads I've read about, but her experiences are still relatable.

I needed a quick read to pull me out of a reading slump and this was pretty fun! I really liked reading from Keiko’s perspective, but I hated the rants that Shiraha went on. In general, I found him to be a pain. I was really glad she cut him off and returned to doing what she felt the best at the end!!

What. Did. I. Just. Read?
Strangely disturbing, strangely fascinating, a mix of intentional and unintentional commentary on society and conformity and life purpose. I really enjoyed a few points in this book, but found more it uncomfortable than I found it enjoyable. Recommended if you enjoy poking into random worldviews to see how they fit together.
