Amo quando a primeira frase de um livro te pega na hora.
Gostei bastante do livro e das discussões trazidas nele. Achei as personagens um pouco rasas, e no começo não me interessei pelos capítulos narrados pela Fernanda.
Mesmo assim, foi um livro bom de ler. Gostei até do final, apesar de ele também ter me frustrado.
Talvez, se o livro fosse um pouco maior, teríamos mais tempo para desenvolver as personagens e os temas e, portanto, teríamos um livro ainda melhor.

Aprendendo a Viver com o Transtorno Bipolar: Manual Educativo by Danielle Soares Bio, Ricardo Alberto Moreno, Doris Moreno, Denise Petresco David
4.5
Se você acha que pode ser bipolar, ou conhece alguém que é, ou que pode ser, leia esse livro. Fui diagnosticada esse ano, depois de dez anos com diagnósticos errados ou insuficientes, e meu psiquiatra me indicou esse livro. Fiquei o tempo tempo: "meu deus, eu sou assim!". Além disso, é muito didático e ensina muito sobre a bipolaridade. Aprendi muito sobre mim mesma.

Lore Olympus: Volume One by Rachel Smythe

So.
My thoughts on this were kinda mixed.
At first, I was bored. Yes, bored. The art style and coloring are absolutely amazing, but the story is just so normal. It feels like the mythology was kinda wasted on it? As in, those greek-roman mythologies are absolute bananas and filled with drama, but this is just a very average and normal romance story that underutilizes the mythological elements.
Also, the plot and dialogues felt very juvenile while the story was being overly sexualized. I don't mind either of those things when they're separate, but it feels kinda icky when they're jogether.
Besides, so far, it's very heteronormative. It feels like another waste.
And, that scene at the end felt unecessary.
BUT. HOWEVER. ON THE OTHER SIDE.
The art style is GORGEOUS. And the characters are starting to grow on me. So I'll probably keep reading.

This book had me from beginning to end. Discovering Lima Barreto has only brought me joy so far. The way he can put together his stories in such a concise and simple way, such a lovely and sad way. I don't even quite know how to describe my reading experience with this book.
Also, I recommend to anyone intending to read this book, to read at least a little bit on Brazilian history beforehand (specially relating to when the republic was first stablished). It'll make the reading experience easier, but also richer.
