Grotesque by Natsuo Kirino

I did liked this book and I think Kirino is quite good to write compelling character and their psyche however it's so long, at the end of the book I was too bored to care

Adolphe by Pascal Croci, Benjamin Constant

feels like therapy, you see everything that is wrong with you and the world, but at the end you feel weirdly at peace and also very drained

i didn't except this book to have this much of romance but i'm glad, i couldn't care less about kennedy but i love time-travel and following this man during his five years in the past

and i'm a sucker for doomed romance

maybe we live in an alternate reality where a random dude save Trump twice from being assassinated
