Young Fermina Daza may not have given Florentino Ariza in a special spot on her romantic history shelf, but he did-for over 50 years! She married someone else, and he had hundreds (over 600?) of affairs, but old age was the right age for them. Very readable, and excellent book club choice.

No. Just no. This book proves that you can be a good writer but produce literally one of the best books to produce feminine rage. Wtf did I just read?
Beautiful writing but didn’t really care for the story. Falls into the trap of modern romcoms that obsession=love.
