on a serious note, it was nice to see someone get better.
I took one of my hands in the other, tried to imagine what it would feel like if it was another person’s hand holding mine. There have been times when I felt that I might die of loneliness. People sometimes say they might die of boredom, that they’re dying for a cup of tea, but for me, dying of loneliness is not hyperbole. When I feel like that, my head drops and my shoulders slump and I ache, I physically ache, for human contact—I truly feel that I might tumble to the ground and pass away if someone doesn’t hold me, touch me.

• Quando a Bestie o passou para as minhas mãos disse: "primeiro estranha-se, depois entranha-se".
Primeiro sinal de que devia baixar as esperanças 😅
• Eleanor é uma mulher que chegou aos seus 30 anos e já passou por muito na vida e enquanto adulta manteve-se à distância dos outros, interagindo o mínimo possível. Ao longo do livro vamos percebendo que ela não compreende o que é entendido como normal e esperado numa interação social (é bem capaz que esteja incluída no espectro autista).
• A autora fez um magnífico trabalho a esculpir a personalidade da protagonista! É um livro digno de todos os prémios que recebeu.
No entanto, fiquei imensamente frustrada com o tempo que levou até vermos o desenvolvimento da Eleanor quando esta começou a abrir-se a novas experiências, mas sou a favor do processo, porque foi necessário para nos apercebermos do seu crescimento.
• Os últimos 30% do livro foram aqueles que mais me agarraram e é também a parte que aconselho os leitores a verificar os gatilhos. Quando chegou à parte da terapia e do twist (que adorei) já era um pouco tarde para mudar a minha opinião geral, mas recomendo na mesma.
