Look it’s got some really well written sections but holy moly trigger warning for assault- there are too many moments that are romanticised it seemed as if by the end of the novel Florentino could’ve been friends with Humbert Humbert

I absolutely hated Florentino Ariza in his later years, and it soured my experience with what was otherwise a beautiful story (and sad enough).
