This book led Air to create a mesmerising soundtrack, so I’ve no complaints for the slow pace. Teenagers are complicated.

Bathroom Girl and Clouds up are among my top three, with Playground Love/Highschool Lover standing at first place.

This book was the hill I was about to die on.
The pacing is terrible and the narrative is way more confusing than it needs to be, I don’t mind having some side steps from the main story, but this book has nothing but side steps. 
For a book that has such a catching and interesting title, the actual book is nothing akin to it.
