Honestly this was a great book. Murata does in 160 pages what most authors need three times as much space for. Keiko is such a wonderful protagonist and I was so glad to get to know her. Her way of facing the challenges of being a modern woman in society is unique, refreshing, and sometimes a bit dark. The humor is dry but it definitely worked for me.
