Perché il nocciolo della questione è questo: succedono disastri quando alla sfortuna si unisce il carattere.

If Donna Tartt wrote the great gatsby. As Jeanette winterson said ‘I fear mediocrity’ James and his mediocrity, even in Oxford, even with mark in their villa in Italy, mediocre. Scary.

Leí el libro porque pensé que era dark academia y aunque en algunos aspectos tiene elementos parecidos, no lo llega a ser. Es la historia de una vida, de cómo las personas llegan a influenciar y guiar tu vida y como eso se va deformando sin que seas realmente consciente. Al final me siento mal por James, que tiene que sanar muchas cosas de su vida y empezar de cero, Tolerate it le queda perfecto.

Really well written and the audiobook narrator did a great job. The character's are unlikable and down right irritating. Unfortunately, the story couldn't make up for the character's, as it in and of itself was uninteresting and not very exciting.
