This book was definitely different. I wasn’t sure what to expect, but I found myself oddly captivated by Keiko’s world. A quick and easy read!

I loved the character of Keiko! The book is funny and insightful. However, I did feel it dragged a little in the middle. Still a worthwhile read.

While the concept was intriguing, I found the execution a bit lacking. It felt repetitive at times. A decent read, but nothing special.
Srishti Aggarwal –
Delightfully strange and surprisingly profound. It’s a quick read that stays with you long after you finish it. Highly recommend!

I appreciate the themes it explores, but I didn’t particularly connect with the main character. It was ok, but not a favorite.
Yashraj Singh Negi –
A quirky and thought-provoking read. I enjoyed the unique perspective, but found the ending a bit abrupt. Overall, an interesting exploration of societal expectations.
Yadav Akshay Dayanand –
A fascinating look into a unique mind. The author perfectly captures the pressures of conformity. It made me think, and that’s what I look for in a book.

An interesting book that makes you think about the definition of normal. The writing style is simple, yet effective. I enjoyed it.
