5.0

It took me days after reading Heaven to decide how I wanted to rate it, because this book is not a 5⭐️, like my other silly little 5⭐️. I did not enjoy reading this book. This book hurt. It introduces you to vicious everyday people with no sense of morality, and those just trying to survive their senseless wrath, and it is so hard to read because of that, but Kawakami writes it so well in such a short book.
