A review by drowninggirl
Heaven by Mieko Kawakami

3.5

I have a hard time rating this, I feel conflicted. Very well written and I got into the story quickly. The topic is very heavy which is fine. The description is vivid -definitely too vivid for my taste sometimes, quite drastic even- I was feeling physically ill in certain scenes. Which then again speaks for how good the storytelling is, but there was something missing for me.
