A review by lunabbly
Not One Day by Anne Garréta

5.0

What a trip. I loved that it read like a stream of consciousness and rawness. She wrote that (or it was translated that way) that she wrote it to be a stream of consciousness, thoughts, feelings, memories as they come rather than to conjure specific memories and feelings to paint it as a particular narrative. Because in some ways, that does taint or influence the way romance feels or can be portrayed to people.

But the ending! Was so excellent! I felt like it was perfect. Just marvelous and lovely in so many ways. Highly recommend to everyone.

So full of desire, longing, lust, love, and generally, attraction. I think Anne writes about all of these concepts about the allure of other people whom we find attractive so well. As well as their attraction to her too. That there's something magical, mystical, but not confusing, and sometimes mysterious. This enrapture, this capture that one can hold over us to make us feel so deeply about someone else. I appreciated the descriptiveness beyond words and highly recommend if anyone were to ever put together an anthology of desire, love, lust, attraction, romance to include Anne Garréta too.
