"In the darkness at the bottom of her bag, her phone continued to flash. All night long, it lit up the scraps of paper, paperclips and pen caps lying there, as if confronting Rika with her own heartlessness."
Took me a bit of time to get through this, but I did enjoy it. I had no prior knowledge of it whatsoever so didn’t really know what kind of genre it was or where the story was going to go. About half way through I did have a “Woah, I didn’t see that coming! This is going to get interesting now.” reaction, but then the book didn’t go the way I thought it would (I thought it’d get darker). But it still ended up being a nice story.
My biggest compliant would be that it felt overly descriptive in bits - I don’t know if that’s the translation or just how it is.
