Amit a szív diktál by Helen Hoang

6/10 - so this book started out strong, I really like how Helen Hoang writes characters that are autistic and is bringing a voice to a population that isn’t always heard, HOWEVER, this book got HARD to read, and I understood why the protagonist was going through what she was going through, but it was HARD to read, made it not enjoyable because you knew what bad was going to happen to her too, and obviously the love story was predictable in it too, idk I had much higher hopes for this book, it was just a HARD story to read

3.5 stars.
Loved the characters and how complex they were! Also thought the heavy topic of caregiving was dealt with really sensitively.
The romance felt a little lacking for me. The relationship moved too fast (lots of time jumps) and the blocks they had to overcome didn't feel very meaningful to me.
Still enjoyed it though!

Hoang es una autora que me despierta sentimientos un poco encontrados. Creo que tiene una gran capacidad para presentar personajes complejos y muy tridimensionales que lidian con cuestiones emocionales profundas de una forma muy realista pero flaquea siempre en la resolución del conflicto.  Con esta entrega me ha vuelto a pasar. La primera parte me parece que tiene una gran fuerza, que nos presenta a dos personajes muy interesantes y multifacéticos y que su prosa sin caer en florituras, es capaz de describir y reflejar los estados internos de los personajes y sus consecuencias. Sin embargo, la resolución se me quedó muy corta. Supongo que dedicar más tiempo al tema del

burn out de Anna

haría que el libro se acercara más a "literary fiction" que a un romance, pero deja al lector con una sensación de haber hecho un poco de trampa haciendo esos flashforward. Además, en cuanto a trama, la cuestión del

anuncio de matrimonio

creo que podía haberse evitado, especialmente porque creo que es un daño emocional muy grande para el personaje de Quan y la forma en que se resuelve no me resultó suficientemente satisfactoria. Ahí había todavía mucha tela que cortar y mucho que explorar, y el punto de no retorno para Anna podría haberse dado igual sin una traición tan grande.

Love a good Helen huang book. This was cheesy in a lot of ways but also so sweet and great representation for a romance
