i really loved this book. such a unique commentary regarding conformity within societal norms, and, at least from my interpretation, institutionalised ableism within capitalist structures. keiko is clearly neurodivergent, and i thought this was a really interesting piece on how fitting in means different things for different people. a really interesting critique and exploration of whether it truly is possible to remain an individual whilst partaking in society.
