I am casually heartbroken on a Saturday night, and I am both incredibly grateful for—and absolutely furious with—the person that recommended this. BEAUTIFUL (but also OUCH).

Excelente obra contemporánea. Me identifica muy fácil muchas de las conversaciones que el narrador tiene consigo mismo. Sobre sus regresiones e incluso algunas negaciones de sus sentimientos y situaciones vividas. Al principio no estaba segura de que me gustaría pero en realidad me fue capturando esta pieza literaria que cuenta tanto del corazón de un hombre ordinario que a la final somos todos en nuestro paso por la tierra.

3.5: funny but a bit dull for me. Although I must say, the language, character, and circumstances almost require a certain dullness so I do think it was fitting.
