Great audiobook listen that I blitzed through on a road-trip (Yeay for Libby/OverDrive app!). The ending was slightly anti-climatic for a book that I perceived as a bit tense throughout, but it was an entertaining, oddly numinous time nonetheless.
Perfect read for: The aromantic Extra-Terrestrial who just crash-landed in Japan
UPDATE: I read Sayaka Murata’s essay “Love Letter to a Convenience Store” that is included in the US Print edition (Orig. published on Lit Hub), and if I could make a singular 5⭐️ review just for that piece, I would!! Man, I loved it!!
