A review by olap
The Perfect World of Miwako Sumida by Clarissa Goenawan

emotional reflective sad slow-paced

4.0

I loved it for the first 2/3 parts - it had the slice of life Murakami vibe without the disgusting sexism. Then i got confused by the last part suddenly veering off into magical realism to reveal the big secret - it was a bit too deux ex machina in the context of the story.  It's still a good read, but could have been more 🥲
