all the characters are hot and annoying, which is relatable for me personally

I enjoyed the dry humor, an opportunity to eavesdrop into conversations between really knowledgeable people, and how the English lessons poetically added nuance to the cultural differences and themes in the main story. Those things made it feel less slow for me than it seemed to be for others. I was frustrated with the protagonist's choices, but she did seem real to me. People (including intelligent, principled, reflective people) make shitty choices all the time.

Honestly, Edith’s read of Ava near the end really clarified a lot of things for me. Soooo thankful that it ends with an ending closest to what I was hoping for. I truly don’t understand the appeal of Julian in the slightest
Some parts felt repetitive or overwritten, but for the most part I enjoyed the meandering writing style. I was able to listen to almost all of it in one day

Debo confesar que tenía prejuicios infundados sobre esta novela — creo que la estrategia publicitaria de comparar a toda escritora millennial que escriba ficción contemporánea sobre relaciones interpersonales con Sally Rooney no está funcionando tan bien como espera el departamento de marketing —. Pero lo cierto es que me ha parecido una novela inteligente y con mucho más poso emocional del que me había imaginado en un principio. Las relaciones, sus tránsitos y evoluciones son a la par complejos y fácilmente identificables. Me ha atrapado totalmente.

This was fine. I do see why it’s been called dull lol but it’s really not that bad in my opinion. Maybe 2.75? Idk I feel pretty indifferent. Not mad I read it but wouldn’t jump to recommend it to anyone
