A review by deedralapray
The Lake by Banana Yoshimoto

3.0

This one was deeeeeeep....two very complex characters in a very complex relationship. The story takes place in Japan, so there are cultural boundaries to cross. I really enjoyed the book, but couldn't help but think it would have had more meaning if one of the characters would have killed themselves. Dark, huh???

Not a YA book. Not that it is filled with graphic sex or violence, it just requires too much life experience to be enjoyed by a young adult.
