really conflicted on how i feel about this one. i think the writing here is nice but the execution of the plot is messy and does not come together in any coherent way by the end. i didnt feel connected enough to the main character to feel much of anything for her, i thought most of the side characters were obnoxious or one note, and yet despite all of that theres something i liked about this even though i couldnt tell you what it is LOL
bueno... momento.
comencé este libro y hasta mas o menos el 30% no sabia que era lo que quería contar pero a la mitad ya le agarre la mano y puedo decir que me gusto mucho. lo disfrute bastante y el final que le dio, era justo lo que necesitaba el libro. va acorde con la historia.
“That's the secret, isn't it? They want us to think it's hard, maybe so we'll stop.”
This one rang true for me. It's touching, insightful, and clear-headed about what being 22 feels like and creates an authentic protagonist who is trying to find her way into adulthood. I'm a sucker for a story of a struggling writer, a girl who is trying to figure out how to relate to men, a student grappling with friendships (how they come, how they go) and a daughter coming to terms with her family story. This author obviously spent time diving deep into the human psyche - all the characters are well thought out and unique. Bravo!
