Japanese authors such as Murakami fascinate me. Now I will add Mieko Kawakami to the list.
Book started with a great pace slowed down towards the end, but had overall a good plot.
Another keeper!

I enjoyed the first half of this novel a lot. It reminded me a lot of Murakami, whom I love. Unfortunately I felt the second half drag on a little bit, I still liked the writing style a lot, but I felt like there was a bit too much detail about sperm donation. Overall I did like the book though, and I think some of my issues with it were personal, so I will still recommend it.
