I enjoyed this book. I particularly liked reading about working women in Japan and how their lives are somehow similar to women around the world with the all-too-same work politics, family dynamics and domestic labour. It was also interesting to read about specific reference to Japanese culture such as manga cafes and love hotels. I would’ve liked more focus on the working aspect of these women’s lives and I felt we rarely got to see them in the workplace and the stories focused more on their personal lives.

I received a free ARC from HarperVia in exchange for an honest review.
