O carte premiată. Pentru ce, nu pot să îmi dau seama.

Când văd pe copertă mesaje de genul: Un roman care-ți taie răsuflarea... și pe voi vă va obseda. (Leila Slimani), mă aștept ca lectura să fie una deosebită. Dar în cazul acesta cred că au încurcat coperțile.

E cel mai anost roman citit anul acesta. Are sub 200 de pagini cu un format aiurea (mult spațiu risipit în pagină) pe care am citit-o în câteva ore tot sperând să fie ceva de poveste. Dar nu se întâmplă nimic. Spre final este o situație mai aparte dar nu cât să îmi țin răsuflarea sau să devin brusc interesată. Ciudată. Doar ciudată.

This is a weird one but interesting enough to keep you hooked. It’s short so that helps, but I didn’t leave with anything major. I liked it though.

I honestly have almost nothing to say about this book, it felt like pure nonsense from start to finish. The plot is non-existent. Poor chracter writting. 

I found the behavior of both the narrator (the stalker) and the so-called "Woman in the Purple Skirt" to be off-putting and devoid of any depth or purpose. Their actions made me feel more disgusted than intrigued, and I found No meaning or insight In this story
 
Waste of time. Wouldn't recommend.

2.5 stars rounded down. incredibly intriguing premise but i really have nothing positive nor negative to say about it. the audiobook was read well but other than that all i really got from this was the clock moving forward 3.5 hours. it was okay.
