I was wanting to read it… then I finally bought it… then I waited a couple of months until I actually read it!

In reply to lucindablogs. Definitely what we should all do. But what is stronger, the will to be individual or the pressures to conform? As this book explores. :)

In reply to Diana @ Thoughts on Papyrus. Thanks for your comment, Diana! Yes, this book definitely had something to say about society, and I'm still thinking about it even now. The way Keiko is pressured into getting married and looking for a better job do give an indication of the need to conform.

I really liked this book. I love the idea that you should ignore societal conventions and do what makes you happy
