My Last Innocent Year

bueno... momento.

comencé este libro y hasta mas o menos el 30% no sabia que era lo que quería contar pero a la mitad ya le agarre la mano y puedo decir que me gusto mucho. lo disfrute bastante y el final que le dio, era justo lo que necesitaba el libro. va acorde con la historia.

This one rang true for me. It's touching, insightful, and clear-headed about what being 22 feels like and creates an authentic protagonist who is trying to find her way into adulthood. I'm a sucker for a story of a struggling writer, a girl who is trying to figure out how to relate to men, a student grappling with friendships (how they come, how they go) and a daughter coming to terms with her family story. This author obviously spent time diving deep into the human psyche - all the characters are well thought out and unique. Bravo!

“That's the secret, isn't it? They want us to think it's hard, maybe so we'll stop.”

really conflicted on how i feel about this one. i think the writing here is nice but the execution of the plot is messy and does not come together in any coherent way by the end. i didnt feel connected enough to the main character to feel much of anything for her, i thought most of the side characters were obnoxious or one note, and yet despite all of that theres something i liked about this even though i couldnt tell you what it is LOL
