A review by tbhwhoknows
On a Night of a Thousand Stars by Andrea Yaryura Clark

informative slow-paced

• Plot- or character-driven? A mix
• Strong character development? No
• Loveable characters? It's complicated

3.0

short chapters great history writing, learned so much about argentinian history which was very cool. i did like the way it was written from two timelines and it was interesting following along to see where and how they intersect. HOWEVER it is SO MUCH telling SO MUCH details that were unnecessary and added absolutely nothing to the story. and also it is actually so unrealistic that literally every single person ever existed in this book is stunning and beautiful.

like if i’m reading about someone getting tortured i don’t actually care if the officer has a stunning handsome baby face, dudes still a dickhead.

 

also the ending from paloma, she was so mad at her mum for actually no reason?? did not understand why she was so mean like i get you need time to process but just do that?? without being so mean??

also first book club book!
