Found Keiko, the main character, very endearing and her thought process a very fun and even insightful one to follow. I appreciate the fact the book does not have a central conflict in the form of an event but instead in the form of a search for belonging. 
Very short and good read!! Other thoroughly enjoyed parts include the commentaries made about both a laborers value in (capitalist) society, and how our society and culture, also a capitalist one, values women.
