Strange Weather in Tokyo by Hiromi Kawakami

Edit: honestly, I'm just glad I finished this because it was kind of a drag.
I don't know if it was the cover or the general premise but I really expected to like this. It confused me more than anything. The lack of plot wasn't a huge turn off but it just felt really bland and lacking.
I did find the writing to be interesting. Specifically only the use (and disuse) of quotations. Some conversations changed mid sentence to a thought like structure only for a character to respond. Genuinely confused by that.
