4.0

Deciding how many stars to give this book was extremely challenging for me. I started with absolutely loving it. The tenderness in the writing and the relationship between the protagonist and Kojima was really beautiful, but the last half kinda lost me. Some parts made me love it again. The writing is amazing, but some parts were just to difficult for me to read, which I really think is the point, but it made me love the book less. I did have to stop during one of the last chapters and read some reviews and check content warnings just to make sure the story didn't involve some stuff I really can't read. I think this is a story I will think about a lot.

It took me 2 days to finish this book and 4 days later to write a review. What I can come up with is ✨nggilani✨.

i really wish i liked this one more than i did :( i do plan on reading the rest of kawakami’s works, but this one didn’t stand out that much. the middle of the book was hard for me to get through bc of the broken nose, but that’s just bc i’m too squeamish lmfao

Because we're always in pain, we know exactly what it means to hurt somebody else.

honestly, i love the first half of the book a lot. it was painful and really eye opening to bullying until i got to the second half where everything got way too uncomfortable for me to handle. the ending to me was pretty unsatisfactory as well but overall i would still recommend this to others just because of how eye opening it is.
