Lonely Castle in the Mirror was a coming of age tale that I didn't know I needed to experience. Set in Tokyo, this story does a good job of covering friendship, mental illness and growing up.

The cover really drew me in with this book. However, unfortunately as I waded through water reading this is became the story was less about exploring fluid identifies and more like stick to the binary. The writing wasn't in itself bad. I just feel I was led to believe I reading about something else. I received this book as an ARC through NetGalley in exchange for an honest and unbiased review.
