Status Updates From Hotel Iris

Here to warn you about chapter 8. This is a very dark and rough chapter for many people to stomach. I myself am actually stopping right now to take a walk as this is a very hard scene for me to read. I do appreciate the rawness of Ogawa and how she does not ever hold back. To have the ability to write in the details she does, I feel she’s exercising her own demons.

This book is really dark I’m not going to lie. Anyone who needs a trigger warning, this is me kindly telling you about it now. Please read with care

I need to start reading blurbs again because wtf🥲
I’m getting ‘my dark Vanessa’ flashbacks so bad

Good. Really hoping my current prediction for the two characters does not turn out to be true.
