it was ok

I remembered loving Kitchen, so when I saw this book was on sale, I couldn't resist.

I probably should have.

People seem to like Banana's books for her writing style -- oddly enough, that's exactly what I dislike about this one [and, now that I think of it, I didn't much like it in Kitchen, either]. It may be more "real" to have a character constantly contradict herself, but it makes for really annoying reading when those contradictions happen in the same paragraph, over and over and over.

I also hate pseudo choruses, which Banana seemed to incorporate a lot.

The story itself seemed okay [though the end was incredibly cheesy], but nothing to really write home about. I don't think I'd really recommend anyone read this unless they actually like her other stuff.
