It’s been ages since I’ve read a book this fast, and I L O V E It

More traditional (so far) than other Murakami I've read. No magical realism yet. Our narrator (male) is in love with Sumire, an aspiring novelist. She's in love with an older woman (Miu) for whom she works. Miu likes Sumire, but is not physically attracted to her. Miu and Sumire on a work trip end up on a small Greek island where Sumire, after an awkward attempt at sex with Miu, goes missing.

This book is one hell of a ride ( not a good one ). The ending was fucking ridiculous. Not only that I was disappointed by the unravel ending but also the senseless clashing of reality. This book is filled with tons and tons of interesting build up but somehow ended up with a one page conclusion.
