i lovedd reading this book. it’s well written, unique, and good weird. the first half delighted and surprised me in so many ways. that being said, there are some upsetting sexual relationships in the second half that make this a hard book to recommend.

never read Murakami before, but this style of storytelling was pretty unique in a way i could see being divisive. 

loved the different points of view yiu get throughout, and the descriptions of the scenes really make it easy to pull you in.
