Wow! What a fire cracker of a book! Not at all what I expected! Quite spicy! 🌶️🌶️

Um livro que te deixa bem angustiado por conta dessa busca obsessiva da personagem para preencher um vazio que nem ela mesma entende direito o que falta.
No começo do livro foi inevitável não julgá-la moralmente, mas com o passar das páginas fui entendendo e sofrendo com ela. Adèle é uma personagem que está em conflito consigo mesma a todo instante, ela faz o que faz sabendo que não é certo, mas mesmo assim não consegue evitar.
A leitura vale muito a pena por conta dos debates que promove e também pela narrativa incomoda e inconfundível da autora. Recomendo.

Three days of boredom reading this.
A woman who is dissatisfied by the ultra-banality of her life, and sometimes is not right in the head, is quite a common theme for books like this. I've read a few of the same theme, and while the characters are purposefully unlikable, I still have the ability to understand their actions. But I couldn't do the same for Adèle.
It feels like every character in this book does everything sans raison. She just does this, and he just does that, but why does that happen, one could never know. Everything was so vague and so minimally explained I often had no idea of what's happening. And to add to that, the story and pacing themselves were just too jumpy, and it made me lost in a sea of confusions.
I bought this because it is a Prix Goncourt winner.....
