Exciting Times by Naoise Dolan

2.0

A bit of a snooze overall. What I’d imagine Sally Rooney would sound like if she cared about investment banking.

camicarreno's review against another edition

3.0

Supongo que ya lo han dicho, pero Naoise Dolan es muy Sally Rooney. Pero una versión no tan buena. Tiene frases divertidas, algunas ingeniosas y una construcción interesante. Me gustó cómo escribe, pero la historia en sí no era la gran cosa y las reflexiones tampoco (una de las gracias de Sally). Chica expat conoce a chico expat en Hong Kong y esa misma chica conoce a una chica. Lo de tiempos emocionantes del título, asumo era ironía. Según Goodreads, 2 estrellas significan que el libro está ok. Le daría 2.5 (voy a redondear hacia arriba).
