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.

didn’t like the general stance the book took on society like i understand it but it was super depressing, generally the idea of someone being pushed to conform to society and the romantic conceptions people have and putting themself in a vulnerable position

I love quirky and morally gray characters, so this book was really up my alley. I even found the main character quite relatable at times. 

At some points the story felt almost thriller-like - but not for the reasons you might think. Keiko Furukura's uncommon thoughts - although, a bit creepy - were not the reason for my uneasiness at times. Instead, all the other characters created the pressure of uncertainty. You couldn't be quite sure when they would push Keiko, or anyone else outside the social norms, too far. Personally I just don't like noisy people, which probably caused me the most discomfort while reading.

Over all, one of the best books I have read for a while <3
