Status Updates From Febbre di carnevale

Entre poesía, amor a su mami checho, música, machismo, árboles de guayaba. Me ha encantado el libro hasta el momento 😭

He ido de a poco, pero está súper bueno 🫶🏻

Ainhoa has an unfair life. But her description kind of points out how life IS unfair, but suggests that it COULD be better.

Okay clearly Ainhoa is a clever and WEIRD little kid. I’m trying to find out how to express that this is an attractive narrator to read the thoughts of.

What a weird little kid Ainhoa is. Her allegories that she tells the guava tree are almost horrific, but not quite enough, keeping them as mere fascinating perspectives on life through a child’s eyes.

The inflatable papi chapter is really such a raw look at the perspective of a younger girl, wishing for an option of a man to look up to as a father figure on a menu of bad candidates. It almost hurts to read.
