From the award-winning author of I Want to Eat Your Pancreas and I Had That Same Dream Again comes a brand-new novel: a tender coming-of-age story about the tangled lives of teenage girls.
Seventeen-year-old Akane has everything she could ever want: friends, a boyfriend, and an all-round perfect life. No one knows that her every move is a calculated performance, dictated by a compulsive need to be liked. Her flawless act is disrupted when she meets a man named Ai, who looks and sounds exactly like the protagonist of Akane's favorite novel. Can this be a coincidence? And if not, what does it mean?
From Yoru Sumino, bestselling author of I Want to Eat Your Pancreas, comes this ensemble drama of fragile hearts and intersecting fates.
