Norwegian Wood by Haruki Murakami. Read it when I was 14 and didn’t fully grasp what the characters were going through, I especially disliked Midori and thought she was outright annoying. Until I re-read it as a young adult, it suddenly hit me that she felt insecure beneath the outspoken and rebellious appearance. I read the book a few more times in my adulthood and every time still brings me new perspectives.
