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.

This is the most twisted, dark and sinister book i've ever read on human psychology. You think that you can guess what's going to happen but you will realize soon enough you are wrong. I thought i've read enough books on revenge but this book so far has the smartest plot. It reminds me of "The Glory" on Netflix.

I've read quite many books about multiple perspectives of the characters and i didn't really like any of them besides "Rock Paper Scissors" by Alice Feeney. Still, that book lacks something. This book instead delivers everything that a masterpiece needs. I was so convinced what led the characters to commit their dramatic actions as if i were in their minds. 

If you are into revenge, a critical thinker and into psychological-thriller but can't find any good books then i totally recommend this one! This is such a unique book, the one that cleanses your palate after reading too many similar crime thrillers

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.

Wow this book absolutely hooked me from beginning to end.  If you like classic thrillers where you can try to solve things as you go then this isn’t for you. I personally loved that it laid everything out and then gave you new perspective on what happened through the different points of view. There were also a lot of little twists throughout the story that kept me hooked. I also really enjoyed the ending. Definitely a great read.
