A review by annaelenah
Heaven by Mieko Kawakami
3.0
3.5 stars.
This was very intense. I had to drag myself through the first half but the second half was deeply unsettling honestly. I've never felt genuinely anxious while reading a book but it happened. The book had me in its grip in some strange way. I don't know what I expected before reading it but this was for sure not it. I'm not sure what to think since I am pretty fascinated by the author being able to write something this unsettling. I'm impressed but I don't know whether I'd recommend this book to every person I'll meet.
