Earthlings by Sayaka Murata
4.0

Gosh this was a really rough one. Please for the love of god check the trigger warnings. I wish I could go back and tell myself not to the read the last ten pages of the book because I’m going to be working on recovering from that emotionally for a long time. And I don’t mean that it was a sad last few pages. I mean that when I close my eyes I think of the horror of those scenes and need a hug.
Really beautiful writing about feelings of “otherness” and feeling like there are all these unspoken things we have to do to be accepted as “human”. But Sayaka owes me therapy money.
