The Premonition is an odd little book. It definitely was not what I expected.
Yayoi is a 19-year-old girl living with her loving mother, father, and brother. From an early age, Yayoi has always felt like something is missing. Like she doesn't quite belong. She often goes on short solo trips to get away from home and figure things out. This time, she finds herself on her Aunt Yukino's doorstep, even though she and Yukino have never been close. Yayoi spends this time with her aunt trying to figure out who she is and where she belongs.
The Premonition explores complex, weird, and taboo relationships and shows the reader that love isn't always black and white.
This book is about going after what you want instead of sleepwalking through life. It has some poignant thoughts and is an easy read. Overall, I enjoyed it and would recommend it to readers who appreciate nuance, unease, and taboo stories.
