讲述作者失恋的故事 很一般…很普通…

[Léna · Rating 3 out of 5]

This book is a recollection of the author’s love experience, thus the story details are lacking. It shows more of a young girl’s psychological activities when she’s in love, including her mental journey of growth. I believe it journals the emotional journey that many people go through when they’re in love. From longing for love, meeting and getting to know each other, experiencing the sweetness and pain of love, finding out they’re not suitable for each other, and finally, parting ways. It may seem whiny or pretentious to some, but I’d say it’s a very typical girl’s inner world.

It’s a very light and cute read with many nuanced discussions on relationships. The writing is subtle and soft, yet very deep. I love it.
