So, I thought it was worth reading because there are some interesting aspects to the story but it’s hard to really believe in (much less like) these characters.

Also, when Watanabe needs someone else to talk to the author just makes up a new friend and starts a new plot line. At least that’s how it felt.

And it felt a little strange to have a man writing about such intimate details of women’s bodies, sex lives, and sexual experiences. I’m sure it’s just me, but that felt a little creepy to read. Just didn’t ring true for me.
