I've never laugh/cried/screamed at a book so much.

piangendo e disperandomi greatest piece of literature mai scritto

I both love and hate this book in equal measure. Love for the backstory and characters (except one, but I’ve never been a fan of him). Hate the sheer pain caused by the plot.

Also another great insight into Dazai and Chuuya’s complicated partnership.

I know it will probably never happen but I would love the learn more about the Flags one day.

Overall it was a great way to spend my train journey to and from Scotland.
