The Briefcase by Hiromi Kawakami
Did not finish book. Stopped at 42%.

just. boring. and not as boring as it is repetitive. the dynamic is weird and i wanted to give the book a go hoping it would change my mind but age gaps are just not my thing. plain, repetitive writing can’t carry a story as slow and simple as this one.
