Zajímavé téma zábavně popsané.

It was too long, which is probably a weird thing to say about a novella, but I honestly think it would be better as a short story. There was not enough substance to fuel the whole book, I was bored half the time. The setting was vivid and interesting, but not interesting enough, I needed more plot, more action, more emotions, more character development, something to happen so that it didn't feel so slow.

It took me half a year to read through this book, and I still feel like I didn't understand most of the poems. Sometimes it was the language issue, other times I just didn't get the meaning, or I did but the words themselves didn't work for me. There were some poems that did, I'm glad I read the book, but I feel like I should try again sometimes in the future. The book itself is beautiful, I love the cover.

Když jsem si knížku vybírala (resp. když jsem pro ni hlasovala v našem book clubu), vůbec mi nedošlo, jak je stará. A jak je zastaralá: nechci hodnotit diagnózy samotné, na to nemám vzdělání, ale přístup k pacientům, autorův způsob uvažování o nich a jejich hodnocení, to byla přehlídka osobních biasů, ze kterých se mi občas kroutily prsty na nohou. Míchání náboženství do diagnóz je pro mě taky za hranou (pacient A chodí na mši, takže ještě má duši, ale pacient B nic takového nedělá, ten už duši ztratil... ugh).

Nesedl mi ani styl psaní, četlo se mi to velmi těžce a několikrát jsem to chtěla vzdát. Dvě hvězdy to získalo jen díky tomu, že příběhy pacientů samotných byly zajímavé - a kvůli nim jsem tu knížku vůbec brala do ruky.

It was so cute! I was not impressed at first, I thought it was just another love-at-first-sight romance, but thankfully it was not. Also, the true love's kiss scene was hilarious.

Entertaining and fast paced. It pretended to be more clever than it actually was, but it didn't bother me too much.

I came here to read a sequel to a romance book, to see the progress the characters made in their relationship. Sadly, it is not a book about them. It's a murder mystery (a genre I am usualy bored by). I knew that from the synopsis, so I shouldn't be suprised, but I still hoped it would lean more into romace.

It starts as a whimsy fairytale but quickly turns into something darker. Don't be fooled, the author knows his tropes, the book knows its tropes, the characters know their tropes, and play with them so that you have no idea what to expect next. There were scenes that left me speechless. Good job for such a short book.

Also, the kissing scene at the end was 👀 (I had to read it three times to make sure I understood correctly who was kissing whom, wow).
