uffffffs
mira que no me gusta ponerme en plan "lesbiana borde xula harta de los gays redundantes modernitos de starbucks". de verdad que no quiero. y mira que yo soy cursi y moñas y pastelosa y pedante. y es que de verdad que yo te juro que la poesía neocostumbrista pseudotuitera breve pues si, lo admito, pues a veces es mi tipo de mierda. pero ¡alma de cántaro!………¿cómo me publicas un "que" escrito como "q"? que no es por ser pajero casposo misogino purista proRAE……..pero una tiene sus lineas rojas, por dios. también te digo, más de una y más tres de las poetas incluidas van a flipar cuando les presente lo que es una coma porque parece que las cobran por usarlas. 


¿qué digo? jo :(      no es para mí pero quizá a ti sí te guste  °U°
nah, a ver, es verdad: la poesía es de la literatura más subjetiva que hay, e iba en serio cuando decía que a mí me han frustrado y a otra persona le puede cambiar la vida.

goood
very beautiful at times
but i have already read Lie with me and that one (with a very similar character dynamics and feeling) was OUTSTANDING (i sob in every re-read). so, i guess every book is now doomed to an impossible comparison

also, probably the most CUUUUUNTiest book to ever slayed (jijiji, pun intended). I aspire to this level of conviction and confidence in life.

it would be a lie to say that I understood the plot. I think there were too many characters and I kept getting lost and not fully grasping neither the main plot nor any of the multiple characters and their subplots. I think that dense chunck of information made it confusing to keep up with.

but………BUT somehow I underlined so much of this book. I think almost in every chapter (and there are 75) there was some form of profound philosophical existential relational touching reflection on the character dynamics that truly felt to me like what I think other people got from the midnight library. And I really couldn’t explain how even to myself but soley because of those paragraphs: 🤲🏽four start rating.

ps: if you liked this book I think you would enjoy everyone in this room will someday be dead which reminded me on the overall feeling, the themes of social exploration and character dynamics plus it’s super dupper funny.

2.25

Despite the short chapters (which I usually appreciate greatly) i found this consistently hard to follow up and a very disjointed and fragmented text. I don't know of that was precisely the intention (to make the text resemble as little bit possible to a traditional narrative style), but in my experience reading it that made the book harder to keep up, connect with overall understand

I liked the initial idea, themes, contents and reflections (that's the reason for the 2.25 stars) and im hopeful that maybe in physical form i could understand the book better.
