Frustratingly real.

A quiet novel of an ordinary life not fully lived. Beautiful in its simplicity.

“What did you expect? he asked himself.”

A really dreamy and atmospheric read, full of lush descriptions of nature, food, places, and emotions. There's something almost hypnotic about the writing — though at times I found myself a bit lost in the haze.

Like a puzzle book disguised as a novel. The writing is pretty simple, and while some parts felt over-explained, I still had a fun time reading it.
