Pretty good. A love story that starts out simple and becomes more complicated throughout, complexifying what still "could be told in two paragraphs", making the writing itself what drives the reader, not the plot. Very cool concept :)

Qué bonito libro. Una historia cortira de romance, aunque el final sentí que le faltó algo, sin embargo, al reflexionar sobre esto quedé satisfecha porque al final de cuentas creo que así es el romance, incompleto para que sea real.
Es la primera novela de Zambra y es el primero libro que leo de este autor. Espero leer más de él porque quedé complacida.
Por momentos me recordó un poco al libro La insoportable levedad del ser.

Me gusto mucho el formato narrador alejado de los personajes.
Como siempre Zambra te mantiene fácilmente enganchada. Sin embargo, no alcancé a ponerle 5 estrellas porque quedé con gusto a poco.
Leí el libro en inglés y me alegro mucho que se incluyeran chilenismos en español!

There are authors you would die to hear even talk about the weather, I would never have a conversation with Zambra.
The repetition is absurd, not the kind of poetic one, the kind that thinks you stupid so it walks again in front of you, slower, without grace; the voice is one of a male latinamerican author, heard a million times without no one really understanding why they keep printing them in the same font; what got me were the self-inserts... yeah don't do that.
acabé esto solo por hater, igual uno aprende así lo que no volvería a leer
