4.0

You get a Murakami sex scene jump scare every few scenes here. I love how the dynamics and personalities of the characters are presented and how a story forms from their interactions. I love how tiny aspects of characters are explored to guide the plot. I found this book sad, but not as sad as it’s been presented to me. Solid 4/5
