*This book was given to me in exchange for an honest review and is for mature readers only. Trigger warning for sexual assault.
Still obsessed with Reiji, Ms. Shiba hatches a plan to get back into his life but it doesn’t go as she’d hoped.
I think this counts as a spoiler, so be aware: Reiji, Chako, and Gen all go to Tokyo together and of course this trip is miserable for the lot of them. I just… Where is this all going? I’m getting this feeling that the plot is just spinning its wheels. I understand the characters are wallowing and trapped in their misery but they have been for some time and it’s starting to feel like a bumbling way to have more fucked up shit happen like (trigger warning) attempted rape. That I don’t care about spoiling. Fuck that shit. 2 out of 5.
