the writing is good but i just can’t get into it :( there’s like no plot and very confusing which i’m like am i too dumb for this??? and since there’s not really any plot there isn’t like a ‘moral of the story’ kind of direction that it’s going too and i’m just not sure what i can takeaway from the story when im like almost a quarter into the book 🥲 relationships in this book were all kinda weird too and at where i stopped there’s pedophilia and sort of incest too so if anyone is uncomfortable with that here’s your warning 

 

last straw came when aureliano wants to marry a child (he is old enough to be her father) and then he literally grooms her teaching her how to read etc while waiting for her to hit puberty so that he can marry her and then she dies…??? the whole rebeca and amaranta part was weird too im so confused
