WOW WOW WOW!
Sayaka Murata said fuck societal norms and I said fuck yes give me that book right now!
I enjoyed most of the stories in this collection. The beginning was super strong and I found myself constantly wanting to be consuming these stories. I definitely preferred the longer stories as my interested waned in the middle of the collection where the shorter ones lurked. Despite that, I quite liked 'Lover on the Breeze' and 'A Summer's Night Kiss' despite only being a few pages each.
My favourites were 'A First-Rate Material', 'A Magnificent Spread', 'Life Ceremony' and 'A Clean Marriage'.
