this book was recommended to me, and i thought i wouldn’t like it, as it’s very out of my comfort zone in terms of genre. however, i found myself loving to hate the characters and laughing at the ridiculous situations they get into.

this book was a bit outside of what i usually read, but it was a deeply moving narrative. i listened to japanese breakfast while reading it and it was a whole new experience knowing the story behind the songs.
