The diary sections are, by far, the most fun and interesting to read. Kirino does such a fantastic job of maintaining her high level writing while also giving each character a distinctiveness it’s impossible to doubt who is who.
Overall it was a great read, there are some slow patches which I found less than engaging, but this is a book worth sticking with! Very thought provoking about some heavy subject matter while unfolding at a true crime pace.

This book is not for the lighthearted. It covers sexual abuse of sex workers, hatred of women (internalized and societal), and just generally awful people. If you're not okay with any of that I'd avoid reading it.
