aaahso torn on this one ｡°(°.◜ᯅ◝°)°｡
luv it thematically nd it feels so different from what im used to with him! but also soo consistent(u know..with the murakami stuff .. . ) nd the way he builds his worlds so they feel just slightly unrecognizable, just didnt ever rly feel like it was digging under the surface which is strange for a character study! might've been the writing taking me out of it :c
add it to the pile of is that a character or is murakami just like that

Okay I'm annoyed with this book. So many things brought up and left unresolved. The main character is kinda annoying and clearly needs therapy. I hate whiny men! And every woman is an object and it's so strange. Weird themes as well

This book is more like a character study with a revolving plot about being ghosted by his childhood friend many years ago. It’s a slow, lax, shuffle to an ambitious answer, but often in life we don’t truly know about what others think. The writing is smooth and easy to read, the only uncomfortable moments are the peppered in sexual imagery that were definitely not needed. Overall, I’d give this book a positive rating, though negative points for the sexual habits and lack of a concrete ending.
