However, the only downside of this book is that the translation is so dry. I wonder if the original novel in Japanese was more eloquent? Cause darn there's so much tell, not show. And considering this is the same author who wrote I Want To Eat Your Pancreas (which was so beautiful), it's honestly a little difficult to read this novel where the language is incredibly stilted.

So far, this book is both good and bad. The good part is that I resonated with all of the issues presented in the book, the facade that we have to put up as we go out there to look for jobs, and the disillusionment we feel as we fake ourselves to glaze those already in the workplace and who have connections. It was definitely interesting to see that these issues are universal across the world. (continued)
