'Heaven' by Meiko kawakami which is an English translation of her Japanese novel, has altered my brain chemistry.. What started as an average teen romance book which features bullying, flipped into the most philosophical and thought provoking book I've ever read. . Meiko kawakami takes inspiration from Nietzsche, portraying one of his philosophies 'Nihilism' in the antagonist, against the nameless protagonist being mockingly called 'Eyes' meaning 'Various truths'. This book left me with so many questions and disturbing realisations. It felt super personal, knowing how bullying and parental relationships deeply affect the psychology of a person. . I would recommend this 10/10 for anyone who has suffered from bullying (and has a strong heart to get through this book)
