Critic Reviews
Witty, wily, and astonishingly sharp.
-- Lisa McInerney, author of "The Glorious Heresies"
An exhilaratingly weird and funny Japanese novel. Unsettling and totally unpredictable.
-- Sally Rooney
A haunting, dark, and often hilarious take on society's expectations of the single woman.
-- Elif Batuman, author of "The Idiot"
[A] short, deadpan gem... This is a true original.
-- Stephanie Cross, Daily Mail
A sure-fire hit of the summer... quirky [and] profound.
-- Irish Times

Good
An easy read. Helped me get out of a reading slump. The storyline could have been a bit better and more clear but the narrator made it feel like a very interesting book.

Loved it
An unique and strangely engrossing story. Finding solace in the monotony and uniformity. Beautifully written and performed. ❤️

People's Prejudice
Narrator is good. Story is also interesting about a common woman and how society has stereotyped everything. Short but well written story.

The road less traveled
Society has a way of accepting only those who fit the herd mentality. This book is about owning up and being who you are irrespective of the consequences. It's an uplifting book, I thoroughly enjoyed it.

everyone is different
in the times we live in, we all need to understand and accept each persons abilities. i felt love, empathy and lots of gratitude to the protagonist as she tries hard to make sense of society

Simple yet impactfut
This books shows how a mundane life to someone can be the best possible life for others, in which they are actually happy and satisfied. How one's comfort and likeness matters over societies pressures. And how a simple life can be lived and enjoyed if that's the best thing which you choose or get choosen from.
