Sputnik Sweetheart by Haruki Murakami
dark
mysterious
reflective
sad
medium-paced
- Plot- or character-driven? A mix
- Strong character development? It's complicated
- Loveable characters? Yes
- Diverse cast of characters? No
- Flaws of characters a main focus? Yes
3.5
can't really tell if it's a 3 or 4 for me so i'm gonna keep it at a 3.5 for now :D
as always murakami’s obsession with sex and fantasizing is still very much apparent (i do think that some scenes were actually not so out of place this time), but i think he still hit the mark for me. i always really enjoy his stories for the magical and unexplainable thing in a seemingly ordinary world factor. despite some of the problematic factors they still intrigue me.
and bottom line it felt good to finally finish a story in less than a full week again lol 😰 not surprised it was a murakami book #GoIncels! 💯
