Ai, que decepção. A premissa desse livro era excelente, mas acho que a Laura Steven não conhece um negócio chamado sutileza. Tudo nele é alimentado pra você de colher na boca, você não precisa parar pra pensar sobre absolutamente nada. Além disso, a escrita é tão pretenciosa. No fim das contas, Every Exquisite Thing só foi corrido e mal desenvolvido. O que me decepciona muito, porque como eu disse, eu achei a ideia dele brilhante. Os relacionamentos são mal desenvolvidos, os plot twists são óbvios ou completamente incoerentes, e eu me estressei que o transtorno alimentar da Penny tava só lá por conveniência. A Penny nadando no rio como se ela não estivesse completamente faminta a ponto de estar quase desmaiando????? Pelo menos a diabetes da Catalina foi melhor integrada na história, e ela foi a única personagem que eu gostei. Dei 2 estrelas invés de 1, apesar dos pesares, porque a autora parece ser uma querida
