Been some time since I last had a book review for a book already, haha. This book I initially thought will be a pretty dark and pervasive story. Well in a way its kinda pervasive, with a 20 year old guy having sex with a 40 year old. The storyline was set in the 1970s era in tokyo, so they were also having the same hippie revolution that the US at that point of time had. Peace, Make Love not War, Revolutions, etc etc. There is a lot of sex in this book probably due to the revolution then, where sex is free for all. Not that I mind..haha..the author put it in a rather blunt manner and at times really straight forward manner. lol...but putting that aside, the story is basically boy likes a girl who is his dead best friend's gf. who suffers from depression due to her traumatic past and the death of her bf. As they grow up, the boy met another girl who love him but he is still attached to the depressed girl.
I have to say the character development of each different individuals was quite good. I mean you can really identify yourself with such characters, the ever serious lead, the arrogant friend, the depressed girl, the reckless new girl and a mature woman trying to let go of her past.
It sounds like a pretty emo book but well generally its about a love story in some sense, and maybe the exploration of humans deep and dark emotions.
