I wasn't sure how I felt about this in the first half. It was different than the other Murakami I have read, no supernatural twists, etc. Then something happened and it turned into a love story that really captured that feeling of wanting to spend every minute with someone. Murakami has a way of transporting the reader to a setting and really making you feel the emotions of the characters. This book covers grief, love, guilt, and sex in a way that feels tender and familiar.
