Does it get any tweer than a girl riding to school on a goddamn pygmy hippopotamus? I feel like a content warning for extreme fucking tweeness was in order here.

Resolutely unchallenging and it goes on for way too long.

I liked Ogawa's Revenge because there was a sense of menace under the surface, and because of how cleverly the tales were tied together. But this is as lukewarm as literature gets.

Automatic one-star deduction for being a coming-of-age novel.
