The Careful Undressing of Love

Maria

магический реализм я люблю за... много что, но чувственная его составляющая - в топ-3 точно. когда вкусы, запахи, ощущения, и текст как будто осязаемый - иногда кажется, эти описания действуют на те же нейроны, что и реальные ощущения. BUT NOT THIS BOOK. героиня холодна, как рыба, как будто её держали в капсуле сенсорной депривации, и вся её жизнь целиком и полностью у нее в голове, одни и те же три примерно мысли, среди которых она ходит, как среди трех сосен, бомба, проклятье, любовь, проклятье, бомба, любовь. это не магический реализм, дружоченьки, это клиника неврозов.

I'm torn between liking this book or simply being uninterested.

This is a strange book for me to review. And here's why: I liked the characters (specially Delilah), I liked the writing and I liked the story as a whole (exceot for that 'twist' at the end).
But at the same time I wasn't super invested on it. I was even a little bored. I don't really know why, since I can see how this could be a good book.

Another strange thing about this book, for some reason I felt like I started reading the book in the middle of the story. Like I missed some pages or something. I don't knoe, it was just a feeling I had when I started reading this.

Anyway, I guess I liked The Careful Undressing of Love? But not like completely liked? I don't know.
