Flew through this!! an easy read, the translation was really well done and it didn’t feel hard to understand the cultural context. not one i’m gonna recommend to people, it’s just a little boring and the characters aren’t developed enough to make me care especially about them.

depressing…a prime example of it gets worse before it gets better. multi-layered for sure. mieko kawakami is brilliant.

how she goes from ‘breasts and eggs’ to this is astonishing. annoying characters in the worst way possible but somewhat of a good storyline
