Such a speedy read, some beautiful writing, although reading translation is always difficult, especially when the style of writing is so poetic. Plot is very zeitgeisty - middle class gal dealing with mental health issues with dark humour. Not a lot of plot but some nice writing.

5.0

Interesting character, bold storytelling, excellent writing. Reminded me of Boy Parts, but with a more grown-up, more hazard version of a mentally unstable protagonist and a more conclusive craft in putting that on paper.
