Yoshimoto's light touch style feels too convenient at times. There are squeaky clean memories and characters that fail to provide richness depth or complexity alongside some morally ambiguous themes the book deals with. It was an underchallenging read as a result.

the writing was gorgeous and it's a book i'd love to revisit. 

see i understand the not so incest. (it's still weird but they're not related so whatever) but the adult/minor relationship 🤢.

There's something about Yoshimoto's writing that I seem to enjoy, fluid and flow-y language that just eases itself in my mind, no effort required.

Quiet and reflective, but almost too short for me to get really invested.
