A review by lakeofstars
The Premonition by Banana Yoshimoto

mysterious reflective slow-paced

3.0

this book was a perfect late night read, with atmospheric diction, grounded characters, and an intriguing story. i am kind of obsessed with yoshimoto's writing style and will be checking out her other works for sure. 

HOWEVER. many points off for the problematic and entirely unnecessary romances.
if you have to say "it's not Technically incest," then maybe you shouldn't write it in a positive way! also, the teacher-student relationship? eugh.
ignoring that, this is a really lovely story.
