The books deals with topics like bullying, child neglect and the Japanese societal pressures and the consequences of those things specially for young kids and teenagers. It's short and quite fast paced and the way that it's structured makes the story even more interesting. The main incident and details are revealed right in the first chapter, the each of the other chapters are the POV of other characters that were directly or indirectly involved, revealing their side of it, more details of what actually happened, as well as the consequences they had to face.
Very satisfying ending too.

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
