i got shivers down my spine while reading the last page but idk whether it's bc i enjoyed reading or finishing it
this is a very tragic book without it necessarily being trauma porn
i liked the themes but the characters weren't as captivating as i expected. honestly i got into the book expecting something completely different... 
the book definitely made want to read more of Marquez's novels and im thinking about a reread already
