A review by sadkitty
Heaven by Mieko Kawakami
5.0
There's just something about Japanese novels centered around themes of human nature and suffering and mental health that just... hit close to home.
This one is easier to digest as I kept comparing it to No.Longer Human (for no good reason) but the mindf**k is still the same.
The bullying well, the bullying is graphic and it made me wonder about a lot of things. On survival. And on life in general.
I wasn't disappointed. I don't know why people read sad books but the reason I reas them is because of the cathartic value they provide. And Heaven, I swear, will literally break you down.
