3.0

I quite enjoyed this book - it is one of those in which the majority of the plot takes place in the characters’ thoughts, rather than within the action. I’m a huge fan of interconnected but separate stories, and this book accomplishes that perfectly. I’d definitely want to read an expanded novel where we learn more about these characters’ lives, but it was perfect for what this book was. The writing flowed nicely - the translation of this one was well done. Definitely a book to inspire reflection on human motivations and the tiny moments that make up life.
