This was a quick read but I felt like the book was trying to be more emotional than it was? It all felt very plain and albeit I like that about Japanese books, I didn’t find this one grasping my emotions. I couldn’t really connect to the characters as such. Still the book had some interesting ideas which I liked. Chill read. It made me chuckle a few times, but I don’t feel much about it in particular.
