hookreads 's review for:
The List of My Desires
by Grégoire Delacourt
While having some heavy and emotional themes the only way I could respond when asked about it was that I found it a very quiet book, very calm and thoroughly enjoyable.
It's always hard to say you enjoyed a book where the characters are not enjoying themselves. However I soaked up this book in two short sessions. The pacing and the short chapters (short book too) made this such an easy read.
I was so surprised by the reaction of the main character as she watched her life turning inside out, it is so different to how I would imagine my reaction. This is what kept me invested in a character who was frustratingly blind to her self-made success, deliberately inactive, and oblivious to her future possibilities.
This is one of those stories that makes you think. What are my desires? Am I being passive in my own life? How would something like this change my life or who I am?
