Love at Least

Love at Least by Yukiko Motoya follows twenty-five-year-old Yasuko, who lives with her kind but emotionally distant boyfriend, Tsunaki, while struggling with depression and hypersomnia that can leave her in bed for days. As she attempts to take control of everyday life—from household chores to finding a part-time job—her efforts repeatedly unravel in unexpected and darkly comic ways. Raw, energetic and moving, the novel explores mental illness, isolation, love and one young woman’s difficult search for connection and a place in the world.
