    Reader note

    I'm someone who absolutely can't stand reading angst-filled novels, but one day I suddenly had a craving for one, and everyone recommended this one. It's a short book, only about 100 pages, but it's incredibly painful. After finishing it, I immediately switched to something else because I couldn't bear to think about it [almost crying]. It's really, really good.
