Complicated
A friend recently said she's done reading books about horrible men being horrible, there is too much great stuff to read. This book is a book I could have skipped for exactly that reason. The story is about a woman but the male character is so incredibly unlikable that I can't imagine recommending this book. If this is a realistic depiction of life for unmarried Japanese women, I'm sad for them.
