I wish I liked this book more 😫 ‘Breasts and Eggs’ and ‘Heaven’ were brilliant books so I had high hopes for ‘All the Lovers in the Night’. Unfortunately, those weren’t met 🥲
Mieko Kawakami’s writing is undoubtedly amazing. Her human-ness shines through and I am always a big fan of very realistic characters. However, some of the time I felt like both the characters and plot dragged and I had to pull myself through 😫
3 out of 5 stars for me on this one, thank you ✨
