I read my book for the #TranslatedLitChallenge on time for a change, but unfortunately I was a bit underwhelmed by my choice this time. I read Harlequin Butterfly by Toh EnJoe (tr. David Boyd). I wouldn't say it was particularly bad, but I felt like it was too short for me to really experience the story and think about what it was talking about.

I wrote a longer review on my Bookwyrm account, so check that out if you're interested. I don't think there's really a way to link directly to my review from my phone, so I've only got a link to my profile. Should be easy enough to find it from there though.
