as expected of murata san, loads of intense existential issues that i could really relate to. in the last hour it all got kind of insane, which was also expected. this was definitely not for the faint of heart. unfortunately i did not feel as attached to the characters and story as i did in CONVENIENCE STORE WOMAN, but it was still a wild read that will stick with me for a while.

This book isn’t for the faint of heart… but wow I loved it. It’s very different than what I was expecting. It’s raw and will make you look at childhood trauma differently.
