Neither main character is able to interpret "normal" social structure and struggles to figure out what she truly wants against the messages she's getting from society around her. Keiko's revelation about what makes her happy may not match that of most people, but that she finds it at all - and the book's message that one can live a satisfying life without meeting anyone else's expectations for happiness - made the book enjoyable for me.(less)
