― Rin Usami, "Idol, Burning" (translated by Asa Yoneda)
In the same way that a night of sleep put wrinkles in a bedsheet, just being alive took a toll. To talk to someone you had to move the flesh on your face. You bathed to get rid of the grime that built up on your skin and clipped your nails because they kept growing. I exhausted myself trying to achieve the bare minimum, but it had never been enough. My will and my body would always disengage before I got there.

Эта книга скорее выглядела как зарисовка, она не большая и с крупным шрифтом, она без начала и конца, будто вырвана из контекста, но самое главное, что она цепляет.
Я прочитала её за один вечер, начала и не смогла оторваться.
Мне очень близки чувства главной героини, потому что в моей жизни было нечто подобное и её переживания и терзания мне знакомы.
История оставляет послевкус приятной грусти и пищу для размышлений.
Оставляет пространство для воображения читающего. Мне было тяжело и эмоции распирали, к тому же мне очень нравится как пишут япошки, весьма своеобразно, но в этом есть свой шарм.
What a year 2023 was! Here are my favourite reads 📚💕
