As I was reading, I kept falling in love more with the story. Kyoko is a relatable main character who highlights how it feels to work and feel stuck in something you originally loved. I love Hayami’s storytelling; it feels like you’re talking to a friend that you connect deeply with. This book feels perfect and personal.
