"People would only seek you out whenever it was convenient for them. When it came to crucial moments, they were drop you immediately to save themselves."
The Perfect World of Miwako Sumida follows Miwako's closest friends in the aftermath of her suicide; specifically, Miwako's best friend, Ryusei, and his older sister, Fumi Ryusei travels to seek answers about Miwako's suicide. While he is gone, Fumi encounters a stranger at their apartment in Tokyo.
The character creation was well done. Clarissa dives deep into the histories and the complexities of the characters. I love magical realism. I was expecting more out of the ending of the story, but overall, it was a good book.
