Ok my first actual murakami book, I started Kafka on the shore and advidly disliked it (however I would like to reread it as I have matured a lot since then) I really enjoyed this

• I really like how gripping this was despite when you think about nothing really happens
• The character development is so subtle from how he starts eating well and no longer feeling scuicudal
• I really wanted to know what was up with sara
• I also probably really liked this book because I am a lot alike to the main dude
• But what happens to Haida? And what was up with that homoerotic tension twords  the end of their friendship?????

I’m not going to claim that this book is perfect, but it was perfect for me at the time in my life when I read it. This book deals with how it feels to be abandoned or “ghosted” by everyone who you have ever loved. It also explores how it feels to leave home for the first time, and life in your early 20s. I HIGHLY recommend this book to anyone who us leaving for college for the first time. It is also my favorite book by Murakami which is saying a lot because I have read 9 of his novels. Also, this book has some heavy themes so PLEASE read the content warnings!!!
