If the women and sexual scenes had not been written this way, my rating would've been higher. I actually did not mind the ending for what it was, even though people do not like open-ended endings. I really thought the random story about a guy having only a month to live and being able to see these colors would go anywhere.

I also wonder what happened to Haida and I wished it was more explored and not left the way it was.

I’m not going to claim that this book is perfect, but it was perfect for me at the time in my life when I read it. This book deals with how it feels to be abandoned or “ghosted” by everyone who you have ever loved. It also explores how it feels to leave home for the first time, and life in your early 20s. I HIGHLY recommend this book to anyone who us leaving for college for the first time. It is also my favorite book by Murakami which is saying a lot because I have read 9 of his novels. Also, this book has some heavy themes so PLEASE read the content warnings!!!
