aside from the obvious (and rightfully deserved) ethical criticisms that surround this book’s publication, i thought it was a lovely read. of course, this book is not in its most polished state, but what's currently on the page is worthy of praise. i was mesmerized by this woman's annual journey and her inner monologue; it almost felt like i was intruding and reading a personal diary that i wasn't supposed to read. this is my first time reading gabriel garcía márquez's prose (i know, what a first choice), so i can't really compare this to his masterpieces. nevertheless, reading "until august" made me really excited to devour his other work. 

For being a Gabriel Garcia Marquez book, this feels half-baked…

Juicy, funny, cute, intriguing, thought-provoking. Thanks mom for the recommendation
