The writing and prose was interesting enough for me to keep reading, but the overall book was a miss for me.

For lack of a better description this felt like a 'quiet' novel. Not much happened, what did was mostly inconsequential and very introspective, but in the end it was still enjoyable.

Antes que nada, quiero agradecer a ediciones godot por mandarme este ejemplar!

Ahora, hablando del libro, fue raro. La primera parte me encantó, la escritura es muy buena y me atrapó enseguida. Me gustaba la historia y como se iban desarrollando los personajes. Me gusta mucho nadar así que esa parte me encantaba.

Mi gran “problema” fue la segunda mitad del libro. Sentía que la historia no iba a ningún lugar y no leía cosas muy interesantes para mi. Me costaba concentrarme porque no encontraba nada que me sorprendiera o me motivara a seguir leyendo.

Creo que es una buena historia pero le faltó bastante, desde mi punto de vista. Había potencial.

De todas formas quien esté interesado léalo porque puede gustarle como a muchos <3 yo soy solo una entre tantos. Gracias a la editorial por esta oportunidad que siempre es bienvenida y se aprende algo!

Couldn't finish it, just too boring. Found myself zoning out and going back too often. Never got to where I cared about either of the main characters and actually disliked the pretentious narrator.
Would've gone for zero stars but that's not an option.

A dreamy, peripatetic meditation on a particular place and time in the narrator's younger life.
