To Paradise by Hanya Yanagihara

ann17young's review against another edition

I’m not really in the mood to read dystopian novel right now. I’ll probably circle back to the set date.

The last story was so good, but I really didn't care that much about the first two...

Open this book like damn these bitches gay

I will say ending every book with “to paradise” somewhat detracted from otherwise very good closing lines. 

What was interesting in this, as well as motion towards freedom, was how understandings of freedom change - this is most explicitly explored in book 3.

Good, but also I feel like it could have been better

Uma pena esse livro ter sido o que foi.

A impressão que eu tive durante essa leitura foi que a autora tinha 1001 histórias pra contar, mas não sabia direito nem como começar, nem como terminar e muito menos como conectar elas.
