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

The ending really almost destroyed the book for me. Not a fan of the protagonist at all and I hope I'm not meant to be. Love all the women in the story though. They really made the book excellent for me which is why it has such a high rating. If I had rated it immediately after finishing it. Truly despise that incest has been present in both books of his that I've read. And this one was far more stomach turning.

this book's only saving grace is its prose lmao. it's just. so problematic i don't even know where to begin??

i appreciate that this is supposed to be a love story. but we also get rampant racism, p*dophilia (and incest???) and just overall horrible pacing. the last like 10% went by quickly, but literally everywhere else, it was such a drag to read.

would not recommend lmfao i regret spending so much time on this.
