I read several reviews that said that people either love or hate this book. Just consider me the loud and proud middle ground. I liked it. Although I didn't think it was brilliant, I enjoyed the writing style and the premise, and it did get me quite pleasantly through several bus rides and that's good enough for me.

Loved the concept of the book and the story line, just hated the language. Minus the language, I would have given it 4 stars.

Me gustó *spoiler alert*:
-La historia.

-La idea de narrar un día al año y cómo está ejecutada, los acontecimientos clave se mencionan de una manera muy natural.

-Ver la evolución de los personajes, Dexter empieza siendo una persona privilegiada que puede comerse el mundo y Emma es más tímida e insegura. Durante muchos años está infeliz con su vida y no logra apostar por sí misma. Conforme pasa el tiempo vemos cómo Emma crece y además, pone sus limites a Dexter, mientras que Dexter decae y las tornas cambian.

-El profundo afecto y aprecio que tienen los personajes por el otro. A veces hay momentos algo tóxicos y se toman sus distancias, pero los dos se tienen mucho cariño.

Mejoraría:
-No lo leería muy seguido de haber visto peli o serie, al final los momentos principales se narran en los tres formatos y la serie es bastante fiel a los diálogos (hay algún cambio, pero es bastante igual).

-A veces los personajes me caían mal porque no salían de su burbuja, pero eso son momentos de frustración de muchas lecturas creo.

-En ocasiones el narrador omnipresente es confuso y entorpece un poco el ritmo porque durante casi todo el libro se centra en Emma y Dexter, pero otras veces salta a otros personajes. En general, creo que podría haberse narrado mejor.

Another re-read to end 2023, I thought the brilliance of this book might have dulled in the years since I first read & fell in love with it years ago - yet I was still weeping at the end.
The characterisation and heart of this book still make it one of my favourites, and re-reading it felt like catching up with old friends. I love the influence Hardy has on the book and the parallels between Em & Dex and Bathsheba & Gabriel. Also love reading anything set in Edinburgh - instant magic.
