A review by maac
Breasts and Eggs by Mieko Kawakami

slow-paced

• Plot- or character-driven? A mix
• Strong character development? It's complicated
• Loveable characters? Yes
• Diverse cast of characters? No
• Flaws of characters a main focus? It's complicated

4.0

I really enjoyed much of this book. I think parts dragged on a lot and that’s what took me so long to finish it (topped with life’s natural busyness). Nonetheless, I found Natsuko very lovable and I grew more fond of the story in book 2. It’s definitely not a plot heavy book but the mundanity of her life and the way the story is written is very enjoyable.
