Look it’s got some really well written sections but holy moly trigger warning for assault- there are too many moments that are romanticised it seemed as if by the end of the novel Florentino could’ve been friends with Humbert Humbert

 Absolutely beautifully written. However I‘m not the biggest fan of Florentino Ariza.

Love the prose, hated the male protag. This isn't a love story, at least not between the two leads. Extremely funny, would have loved it if the misogyny and downright obsession of the main character was explored as anything but a positive attribute of love though.
