It was absolutely delightful reading Keiko's narration and relating to a character on a level I never have before. It's a quick read about Keiko navigating life as someone who does not fit the norm despite being perfectly content where she is. She heavily reads as autistic though it is not explicitly stated. I think it is a great book if you're someone who struggles with family/societal expectations or "fitting in" in general.
