I think I feel more frustration than anything after reading this book, which probably isn’t what the author intended. Everyone in this book sucks except Keiko.

4.5

This is a comic and unsettling look at how modern society still strives for conformity, regardless of lip-service paid to the ideas of personal liberty and “being oneself.” 

A few scenes were very disquieting, such as when the main character describes violent impulses she represses, or when the very thin margin of her acceptance by her circle of friends is threatened by their unthinking adherence to traditional gender roles.
