4.0

It's an definitely an unusual book, but I quite liked it. Some people find it too descriptive, but I think it fits the way the protagonist Keiko, who is definitely neurodivergent, sees the world. What I struggled with was the blunt sexism from one of the characters, which I sometimes found hard to read. But it fits the story so... Overall it was a quick read and a story that you think about even days later
