Breasts and Eggs by Mieko Kawakami
3.5
I have really mixed feelings about this one. book one is solid for me—the characters, their personalities, the writing, and how it wrapped up. however, book two is a bit eh.
while I really like the narrations regarding women and their life, women and their trauma, women in general, at some point, one paragraph will take up an entire page without any clear reason on why it is written. probably explains why I finished book 1 in a few days yet once I started reading book 2 I got into a month slump
but look, Mieko Kawakami depicts how vastly different women's opinion in one topic nicely. thoughts that I couldn't put into words, she could put into words, so I can't say that I didn't enjoy this book—and her writing is very lovely at times. some other times... well...
