Son tristes y tensas las escenas explicitas de bullying de las que se relatan.
Es fascinante la conversación del significado o importancia detrás de lo que hacemos y cómo reaccionamos y la falta de consideración que los jóvenes tienen (o tenemos) en lo que los demás sienten. Y me hizo cuestionar mucho si es la naturaleza del ser humano reaccionar con violencia a lo desconocido o descargar tu enojo en los demás solo porque quieres.
Nunca vieron Heaven juntos :,)

This is an amazing quick read that manages the careful balance of asking questions about life, death, and morality while being told through the perspective of a child believably. I would highly recommend checking the trigger warnings before picking it up as it does get incredibly heavy at some points. I will definitely be reading more by Mieko Kawakami.

"I wasn't crying because I was sad. I guess I was crying because we had nowhere else to go, no choice but to go on living in this world. Crying because we had no other world to choose, and crying at everything before us, everything around us."
