While it was certainly groundbreaking at the time of publication, 'The Price of Salt' suffers from a boring and immature main character as well as a meandering plot. The relationship between Therese and Carol lacks anything to entice the reader into caring about what happens to them. Though Highsmith brings back some of her thriller roots in the second half of the novel, it is too little, too late.

The final of this book it's magic. No, It's not an open ending, it's a happy ending because they end up together.

хотіла поставити 3 за шаблонний нарцистичний сюжет, але кінцівка дала мені ляпаса.

в книзі дуже цікаво переживається час, відчуття наче пройшов як мінімум рік, чи багато, а там лише три тижні. але віриться, бо краш темпорально відчувається саме так
