actual rating: 2.5

I just really wasn't into this. It's a bunch of loosely connected short stories - which I didn't realize when I started, and I probably wouldn't have picked it up at all if I had realized - about serial killers in a town where two death-obsessed girls go to school. I would have liked something that had a more straightforward narrative since some of the stories are actually about the two girls and some they just show up very briefly towards the end. It might just be that I'm missing something in translation or it might be that I just don't like this kind of story but I just found myself skimming a lot of it.
