Te amo Therese Belivet
I read this before watching the film, and I loved both. I'm a big fan of Patricia Highsmith, and this did not disappoint. Atmospheric and romantic, it had me in tears at the end and my heart felt full.

I really can't imagine trying to navigate life as a queer person in the 1950s. It's hard enough now. I was on the fence about the relationship between Therese and Carol. It often felt very stilted, and their age gap was a little off-putting. But now I think they were doing the best that they could in a time that lacked the acceptance or, or even the language to talk about, the way that they felt.

Pues se me ha hecho un poco bola. Entiendo la relevancia literaria del libro pero el romance para mi gusto dejó mucho que desear. Por supuesto las relaciones realistas no deben ser perfectas y tal pero esta era tóxica desde el principio. Therese se pilla de primeras muy intensamente sin casi conocerla, al mínimo problema se desenamora fácilmente para luego finalmente volver un poco porque era la única opción. Carol por su parte la trata fatal todo el rato, desde el principio. Ni siquiera es amable con ella. No sé, no creo que fuera la historia romanticona que yo esperaba.

i liked this, but some strutural parts were confusing (why is salt introduced only at the end? when did therese get back to chicago?), and everyone in it needs like ten therapists.
