Couldn't relate to the protagonist in any way. Found it to be self indulgent and immature

“… a música romântica tem a característica fantástica de levar você a algum lugar do passado, ao mesmo tempo que leva você para o futuro, de modo que você se sente nostálgico e esperançoso ao mesmo tempo.”

4.0

Different from a lot of books I've read. Male in his mid 30s. Having a bit of a crisis of self. A lot having to do with relationships but also just kind of being stuck in life. He is a bit self sabotaging but also just trying to figure it all out.
