A Little Luck by Claudia Piñeiro
5.0
Crying. This is the perfect book. I cannot speak about all the things I loved about this because I want whoever comes across this to experience the book organically, if they have yet to read it. This is not to say that the book is revolutionary in the sense of plot, but it is effective in its subtleties, philosophy, and structure (the first quarter of this book was structured so well while also hallmarking Piñeiro’s experimentalism). The characters, particularly our narrator, are also larger than life. I believed in their motives and internal struggles.
I thought the inclusion of Robert was only bolstered by the introduction of Ariana towards the end. How sweet it is that the characters have loved ones who help them process their grief? Isn’t that what we all want?
At first I was scared about the ending. I wanted more! But the indication that the story stops where it does also moved me, as it signifies that our main character no longer feels the need to write anymore.
In the end, this is a beautifully sentimental and intriguing book. I would not classify this as a crime novel. This is a study of circumstance and family. I loved it.
