4.5
Perhaps didn’t love the last POV so much (in terms of how the magical realism came into play), but overall, as a story, the work felt whole and moving. I definitely want to get into more of Goenawan’s work in the future.
Aside from how I liked this book, I can see why the story and writing style could put other readers off. Also, the TWs are important, as the topics in the story can be triggering.

Even though I would have enjoyed a traditional book where the story was told from Miwako's point of view, I think I prefer how this author layed it out, as it created much more curiosity and suspense.
Notes to keep in mind when looking to read this book:
This book is set in Japan and includes all traditional aspects of Japanese etiquette and culture. It may be confusing for some who don't know much of the social culture.
This book is angsty. Very Angsty. Top tier angst. Very possibly triggering things. Check content warnings.
