I read The Remains of the Day ages ago and struggled to stay engaged. So I was expecting something just as sludgy, but you’d one was endearing and so distant. I loved it.

Klara and the Sun was recommended to me by someone after I told them I read Murakami. This was a light, quick read that was really enjoyable and had just enough depth to make you think. It focuses a lot on the idea of loneliness and what people do to avoid it, but also what it even means to be a person. What I liked the most was that there was a good balance of world building around the concept of humanoid robots and character development. It’s a short book so it didn’t go very deep, but it gave just enough to keep me invested. Will definitely recommend to friends.

I absolutely loveeee how Klara was written. Her POV was so fascinating & the story surprised me so much, but always in a good way & one that made sense for the story. I’m so glad I read this after becoming chronically ill, I think it hit so much harder (in a good way) because of that. Josie ily :(
