The Diving Pool by Yōko Ogawa
4.0

I'm usually not a fan of short stories. like, at all. I always feel they end right at the point where they should start getting interesting. not to say that I didn't feel the same thing with this collection, but the truth is, there's just something extremely fascinating in all the stories here.

there's this big eerie, dream-like feeling that is present in all three. it's something I always love because it absolutely transports me into these weirds worlds and leaves me hooked. I particularly enjoyed the story pregnancy diary. but in all honestly, I thought all three stories were excellent. I still wished they were longer and more developed but reading them was wonderful.

I'm enjoying discovering ogawa's work so much
