📖 REVIEW 📖
It spiked my interest that this book was partially set in Nagano, a place I visited in Japan. Wasn't expecting it to be as strange as it was but read across different cities, on trains and finished once I arrived home.
➕️ It was an easy book to read for the most part, especially being a translation.
➕️ Enjoyed reading this book in Japan, especially give. That it was set in some of the places I visited including Nagano and Chiba.
➕️Exploration of themes including oppression, societal expectations,innocence children and trauma.
➖️There was a lot of complicated topics that were u comfortable to read about. Suggest checking out the content warnings on The Storygraph before reading.
➖️It was just weird. Really weird. I probably should have made it a DNF but there was a part of me that wanted to see where it went.
