Got about halfway and had to abandon ship. The story doesn’t really go anywhere, and I wasn’t enjoying Ava as a character.

No sé mi me ha gustado del todo esta novela, pero sí que estoy muy cansada de que se empeñen en hacernos creer que estas mujeres protagonistas son las peores personas de mundo, las únicas egoístas, las únicas confusas, cuando únicamente existen como personas normales. Por lo menos Días apasionantes es consciente en algún punto de que está creando en Eva, la protagonista, una especie de reverso malvado de la pick me, que realmente solo es una mujer joven.
Cuando en redes sociales, bookstagram, se habla de que no te caigan bien los personajes o se debate sobre si te gustan personajes sobre la moralidad de que te gusten personajes que son malos, no lo relaciono precisamente con las protagonistas de novelas millenials egocéntricas que no saben lo que quieren. Lo más discutible de Ava no es su confusión, de hecho son los momentos en los que creo que le olvida que es una mujer blanca. Si me disgustase Ava como personaje por las decisiones que toma tendría que odiar a la mayoría de mujeres y por ahí creo que no paso.

3.75/4 stars ⊹ it was my first time reading a book like this, with such inner monologue(?) and breakdown of the mc's feelings and thoughts. so many times i'd be thinking "girl....." and then i realized that she was actually quite real and relatable, which does not bode well for me lmaoooo
i enjoyed reading this, i definitely think it'll stay with me for a while. it's hard to say more because that would require getting deeper in my own feelings & vulnerability
