Me identifico con Marina, una versión adulta pero a la vez infantil de Manolito Gafotas. Si bien a veces me liaba con sus comederos de cabeza, me ha encantado su retrato de la Sevilla de los años 90, con esa nostalgia que me evoca mi infancia en Andalucía.

I devoured this book! I didn't expect the queer and, in general, freeing experiences described by the different writers, and I especially liked the inclusion of teenagers and their tastes in "heartthrobs". If you're looking for a well researched book about female desired in multiple ways, this is for you!

For a short story, it was enrapturing. Even when we know that the MC will die, García Márquez does an excellent job at setting the scene and showing how everyone either turned a blind eye, tried to help and failed, or had a defeatist attitude at what was about to happen.

Goodness me, I think this has been one of the books I've struggled the most to read. The only part I liked was the second one, where I saw a bit more of Murakami's traditional writing (meaning the writing style present in his first novels), while the first and third part I didn't enjoy at all. I felt like he was trying to connect all three parts without succeeding, using the reason of "an unfinished story" to keep circling back to the same topics. Plus, the plot itself was very...lacking? Once past the first part, the second part was more calm, more "day to day" kind of thing, disrupted by the third part and a very abrupt ending. Overall, I doubt I'll re-read this book.
