to be honest, i didn't expect to like this that much, i read a lot of reviews talking about how this might not be the book for everyone, and i thoughtto be honest, i didn't expect to like this that much, i read a lot of reviews talking about how this might not be the book for everyone, and i thought i was that "everyone", but oh my. this is an either you love it or hate it kind of book, and i for sure adored every page of it. ngl, sometimes i was confused but i enjoyed everything about this, i felt so happy everytime i read this. it's such a fun way to escape the real world, and dude, i needed that so bad these days. going to treasure this book forever and dream about being on it as much as i can.

It was beautiful yet heartbreaking, i fell in love with the characters, and their stories, and yes that was the intention but rn i feel so attached and i keep thinking about them and everytime I do so, I cry. I do agree with everyone else, you shouldn't read what this is about and go blind. It hurts but I'll treasure this story forever....more
my journey with this book was... complicated. i started it in june, but then dnf-it since i just didnt felt like reading it, and, you would think thatmy journey with this book was... complicated. i started it in june, but then dnf-it since i just didnt felt like reading it, and, you would think that after so many months (and so many books) the stories i read at that time would be forgotten, but no, i can still remember all of them which i found so interesting, since i am not someone with good memory (at all), so i guess you can say she had a big impact on me. i loved this and i'm so excited to read her memoir. each story was so creative, and the way it connected to a woman's body was just beautiful. am i a Machado stan now? yes.

this whole book felt like a fever dream, one that i enjoyed, i think? i had high, and at the same time, low expectations for this book and that's why i think it's a solid 3, or maybe 3.5, they lost me a little bit at the end, everything till then was very good and i was really excited about what was going to happen but then the ending was just... okay ig?? i loved the writing and the descriptions the author gave, the characters (even the ones i didnt like) were really interesting and the plot wasnt something i expected which i appreciated but then, tf was that???? also, why on earth they can do all of that????????? also, i hate how much i see myself in the main character, I KNOW THATS BAD but i got problems too okay?
