shelvedbyelle 's review for:
Chronicle of a Death Foretold
by Gabriel García Márquez
i’ve yet to *truly* enjoy a gabriel garcía márquez book. first, until august. now this. what is wrong with me??? everyone seems to be raging about one hundred years of solitude, but like... dua lipa had it in her photo dumps for months, and even she didn’t look like she finished it. that kind of intimidation does something to a girl.
it’s not that this book was bad. and it’s not like the synopsis misled me—i knew santiago was gonna die from the first chapter. it’s literally in the title. and what followed was everyone else’s perspective before, during and after the murder. i just... wasn’t as into it as i hoped. maybe my brain is just wired to connect better with female authors?? (pls don’t come for me.)
but also... fuck all men. virginity is a social construct.
