Not really my kind of book. It wasn’t bad at all, for what it is it’s wonderful but it was outside of my preferred genres. I like a more action packed story, but if you’re into books that are more emotional, introspective and thought provoking, almost philosophical, then this is for you! The relationship between the main character and Kojima was quite touching. Overall, not my cup of tea but definitely someone else’s fave. Check trigger warnings! There’s nothing especially graphic, but the story deals heavily with bullying.
