Rien de sérieux by Naoise Dolan

lqueijo's review against another edition

3.0

Ainda que continue a não achar grande piada à falta de história, dentro da história, nem a perceber o “hype” em torno deste tipo de literatura, do que tenho lido das “novas” autoras irlandesas, este livro está uns furos acima. Para além das divagações existenciais típicas destas autoras (e da irritante falta de auto-estima da protagonista) há a preocupação de discorrer sobre determinados temas interessantes - colonialismo, classes, sexualidade, entre outros mais esbatidos.
O género, continua a não me convencer.
Lê-se, se não houver melhor.

Very relatable. 20-something year old with bad taste in relationships and always seems to make the wrong decisions. Julian is boring and puts himself first, Ava doesn’t want to leave him bc he validates the beliefs she has about herself. She runs from all the people who want to get close to her. The ending might mean that she’s choosing to stay with Edith or she is having one final goodbye. Very sally Rooney vibes.
