The end of the first chapter made me stop and say "holy fuck" out loud. Once it started, there was no brakes on the wild ride of a story.

I feel that the events of the book can best be described as the idea that everything happens either after or before the day Yuko Moriguchi resigned. Everything included in the books has some importance to it and connects to a much larger story. There is really no good person in this story, and that becomes more and more evident as each chapter unfolds. The ending really made me think about consequences and what our actions can lead to in the future.

“I think we regular people may have forgotten a basic truth—we don't really have the right to judge anyone else. “

It was an interesting read but was a bit slow at parts. It was nice to see how everything concluded at the end of the story. All in all, it was a story about revenge.
