yamasaki asami said all men do is lie so they should die and that's why we stan this book and her


Japanese men named murakami who writes women terribly and absurdly might be my soulmate. I'm sorry to say queens but internalised misogyny might've won

Overall a great fun and easy read, this book was chosen for me when my local book guy did a "blind date with a book" and i have to say it's perfect!

Absolutely hilarious how aoyama was so delusional and how yamasaki was so insane! Good for her! 
Personally, aoyama was only good for his commentary on Japanese culture and food and a lil on how he treats his woman to really nice meals not so much the lying part. We do not stan him
The only good people in this book are rie-san, shige-kun, and yamasaki-san I'm afraid 

My only few problems i had with this book was the dog gore, that was not very nice :( also that it felt like
yamsaki was written just to be psycho? The deus ex machina from aoyama at the end was horrid. I would've preferred it if she was just psycho for funsies instead of the oh step daddy was abusive so me too
it was a very easy and light read so really, i don't even really want to complain
