Finished and the ending was not really what I was hoping for but what I expected. While it was a good book, i don’t really know how to feel about it. Just a strong sense of longing for development. The lack of development from the characters created a full circle moment at the end. So the book does have a theme but feels almost bleak. It’s kinda this cycle of 2 people who can’t change accepting their fantasy.

The fiesta was crazy and all the drama seems to have unfolded.

So Jake and bill went on the fishing trip which was nice but Robert Cohn didn’t go because he wanted to see Brett . I don’t really get why Brett is like opening being flirty and unfaithful with everyone and she has a husband on the trip who’s aware of that and doesn’t really care? I read the first bull fight chapter which was cool. I saw the connection to the steer and Jake being impotent.

Bill and Jake have just entered there inn in burguete for the fishing trip and later bull fighting’s Cohn did not go because he’s supposedly seeing Brett. A lot less adventure so far than previous Hemingway I’ve read. But it documents travel well. Still don’t u destined Jake yet

So far it’s reading just like I predicted a Hemingway to read. Back to the quick and punchy writing style and male main character. Starting to notice a pattern. Reads like a knife through butter🧈
