Bride by Ali Hazelwood

Did not finish book. Stopped at 8%.
sinceramente, eu não sou o público-alvo desse livro, e resolvi começar a ler ele por um simples motivo: eu estava sedenta por um romance envolvendo vampiros e lobisomens.
em poucas paginas, coclui o que temia: a escrita da autora não é pra mim. a forma como ela junta o tema, a necessidade de ambos os protagonistas serem os mais fodões dos fodões me entedia.
em tempos tranquilos, eu leria só pra poder reclamar [ou, quem sabe, me surpreender], mas atualmente, com tantos livros promissores e tantos afazeres a serem feitos, não tenho tanto tempo pra perder, sem ofensa. </3

2.0

 The book provides a compelling perspective on the avoidant attachment style, but it falls short in terms of depth. In other words, while it is of high quality, it doesn't offer the necessary depth to effectively address the nuances of the attachment style.

As a whole, it's fair to say that 'Men Without Women' falls short of being one of Murakami's finest works. While I harbor some affection for it, given that the recognition 'Drive My Car' received at the Oscars prompted me to delve into his literary world, it failed to capture the distinctive 'Murakami Charm' that I've cherished in many of his other creations.
The short story that lends its title to the book, 'Men Without Women,' also misses the mark in bringing forth this charm. It is simply disappointing and superficial.
The true gems of the book undoubtedly lie in 'An Independent Organ,' 'Scheherazade,' and 'Kino' — the latter being the one that continues to affirm my belief in the saying, 'Murakami's books will find you when you need them the most.'

As they sat and talked, however, a tiny, tiny sliver of doubt took root in their hearts: Was it really all right for one’s dreams to come true so easily?

"Não, liberdade eu não queria. Apenas uma saída; à direita, à esquerda, para onde quer que fosse; eu não fazia outras exigências, a saída podia também ser apenas um engano; a exigência era pequena, o engano não seria maior. Ir em frente, ir em frente! Só não ficar parado com os braços levantados, comprimido contra a parede de um caixote."
