so-so♟Told via 2 unnamed POVs; a teenage girl & a Japanese soldier.
♟POVs chaps aren‘t distinguished, which can make story slightly disorienting at times.
♟Super short chaps.
♟Parallels between two characters offer contrasting insight into JPN invasion of Manchuria; colonisers vs colonised.
♟Story about loss of innocence & loss of hope.
♟Fast-paced yet narrative drags in places.
♟Tragic finale.
♟TW: Torture, violence, molestation, attempted rape.
♟3/5.

#readjanuary day 12: #girlinthetitle
Turns out I've read more "girl" books than I realized and that I really liked these! Have you read any of these "girl" books?
(Also now I'm wondering about "women/woman" titles, "boy" and "man/men" titles. Perhaps in next month's prompts!)
I don't really have a #januarytbr, just a list of various reading challenge books that I shelved together. I'm currently reading The God of Small Things and I'm not exactly sure what I'm going to read when I finish it. I'm leaning towards Nimona though or maybe Gospel of Loki. #readjanuary @RealLifeReading
