One woman comes up with a plan to make her best friend confess his feelings for her—so she can get him to move on. A new novel from the acclaimed author of I Want to Eat Your Pancreas and At Night, I Become a Monster. Chizuru is about to turn thirty—and get married. But before the wedding bells chime, she has one last mission: make Hibiki, her best friend from college, confess his true feelings to her…so she can finally turn him down and help him move on. Her wish is simple—that once he speaks his heart, he won’t stay trapped in the past, but find the courage to step into the future. Their longtime friend Karin rolls his eyes at such a childish scheme, but against his better judgment, he agrees to help. Yet this so-called Confession Strategy soon spirals in ways no one expected…A bittersweet rom-com about unrequited love, tangled friendships, and unexpected turns of the heart.
