“what kind of woman would i have to be to keep him?”
una historia de amor propio (yo la considero así), en donde una mujer se pierde en lo que parece ser su primer gran amor, consumida por la necesidad de arreglar, de comprender, de pertenecer. la prosa es buena y sencilla, there are several heavy hitters that feel appropriate pero a la vez le impide volverse más. nuestra protagonista es interesante, cuidada por una madre soltera y más a su imagen de lo que le gustaría ser, es completamente humana y, al final del día, plenamente familiar.
disfruté esto más de lo que esperaba, i thought it was to be a boring three-star, but once it starts, you really can’t put it down. creo que lo podría comparar con estar en el mar, o en cualquier cuerpo de agua que no esté intentando asesinarte.

Characters not interesting enough to justify the slow pace

“there is no end to grief, because there is no end to love”
this was slow and really introspective but the prose and imagery were beautiful. it felt like pressing on a bruise and that tickle in your throat before you start to cry

I felt as though so many of the emotions / feelings relayed in this book mirror many of my own experiences, and it was striking to read it told in ways I could not describe myself. would recommend to many.
