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.

This was interesting. I was really intrigued to see we’re this would go and what actually happened. My favorite part was seeing how all the different characters and their motives differed from what you thought previously from another point of view. I do have to say though that most of the reasons things happened honestly was stupid and didn’t even make sense to me(like it did, but I don’t think any of it works, but then again they are psychopaths). I think this is worth picking up, but to me nothing shocked me and it was a little repetitive at times which I personally didn’t mind.

Jezus Christ this was dark. And so so good. It just kept spiraling and spiraling and you never knew what the next move was going to be. I gasped multiple times, one of the best and most thrilling books I've read in a while. (but so many triggerwarnings, please look them up in advance)
