a thesis on women and society and the human condition i have a lot of thoughts on this book wow.. not so much a crime thriller as it is a character study

ok i know initially complained about the length but hey

also trying to not think about the issues with translation and censorship or i’ll explode

El hallazgo de los cadáveres de dos prostitutas nos lleva por el pasado de ambas, mostrándonos descarnadamente la realidad de las escuelas elitistas japonesas y las cicatrices psicológicas que dejaron en las protagonistas.

What I think is the whole moral of the book; You can't gild the lily but watch it wither away.
