The exploration of what is "normal" in society and how it is self-policied is explored brilliantly. The comparison of social behaviours between Keiko and their friends/family
As someone who is neurodiverse, this exploration of societal norms and expectations was so relatable. I also connected with Keiko who I have similar behaviours and thought patterns with. So intentional or not, it was nice to read a positive representation of neurodiversity.
I would highly recommend this perfect book to anyone.

The story is pretty fast paced, Furukura is an iconic main character and i love her. A truly painfully accurate account of society and the inner workings of some people's minds.
Amazing writing, Shiraha is the most annoying asshole ever and I hate him.
My partners read the book out loud to me and the only reason it took this long is because I needed to have a break three times per page because I had to yell about Shihara.
