rating this is weird because i probably would’ve liked it a lot more if i hadn’t had to read it for school. as such, and because of me being in a reading slump i found it very slow and hard to read. i found myself reading pages and then not remembering anything that had happened. i also didn’t like the relationship between ayaka and amadi ; that was just very uncomfy. i did like the overall themes of the book, i thought it was really well done, but i didn’t enjoy it very much for various reasons.
