- Summary:
- "Hirai is in a rut. Nearing 40, uninterested in romance and drifting through her office job, she's starting to feel like she might just disappear. When she agrees to move in with her older colleague, Suganuma, people raise eyebrows, but the two women quickly settle into their own soothing domestic routines. Yet escaping the pressures of romantic love isn't easy. Lonely and facing family pressure, Hirai anxiously rejoins dating apps and endures a painfully adequate match. Surely there must be another way to feel less hollow? Witty and deadpan, Hollow Inside is a wonderfully skewed story of two single women trying to carve out their own space in a world of couples."-Back cover.
