Flaws of characters a main focus:
Complicated
this book was Very slow and took me a while to finish it bc i felt obligated to. i didn’t feel attached to any of the characters specifically. But it’s a great 1984-adjacent with dark political undertones and it is haunting to know Ogawa drew inspiration from Anne Frank and WWII.
