Love in the Time of Cholera

Although I don't remember it very well, I absolutely loved One Hundred Years of Solitude when I read it in either late high school or early college. This had been on my list for years and I figured Coronavirus pandemic was as good a time as any to read something set in the time of a cholera pandemic. The character development is beautiful and this felt honest in a way that only fiction can really pull off, but I just could not get my brain to gel with Marquez's writing style. I had to focus pretty consistently throughout instead of falling into the story. I liked it but was a little underwhelmed because of that.
