Ok... So. I made it through it. Halfway through it starts to go places and until the end I had the knot in my stomach. Deeply disturbing, vivid and honest.

Despite the clumsy translation, this one was amazing! Not the average girl meets world thing, but moving, deep, sad story on women trying to make it the "progressive " world.

Trough the whole book I had this manic urge to keep reading and I think Otessa will be my new obsession for 2023! It was bold and brutal read.

Beautiful!
The story, the terror of the war that remains untold behind what is told, the female bond, the alternatives of the narrative, the references to contemporary Balkans. I loved everything.
Very happy with this new wave female authors from the region, creating female characters that you have already met in real life.

Completely (!) not what I expected!
Toughgt I was picking up some easy breazy entertaining read with a soft spin of love story and youth in revolt in Iran, but was I wrong! It's tide, it's dark, it's sad and it's hopefull.
Beautiful.

The storyline is purely beautiful and I hold the theme of this novel in high regard, but... It is so poorly written that some pages were just painful to read and simply awkward.

The antipode of the Pulp Fiction, curated with the charms of the Western Balkans. Disturbingly beautiful.

I have never read something so brutally beautiful, disturbing and loving, ever before in my life. I am still blowen away by the fact that it took me so long to decide to read this.

Deeply disturbing, yet full of beauty and love.
Loved it a lot. Cried about it a lot.

Everything was too obvious and tendentious. Even tough i personally consider some of the the topics important and discussion-worthy, everything but the father-daughter bond, was a boomer.

Book that gives you that state of watcing a Woody Allen movie. Light, funny read with lots of amusing movie and arts references. Would read again to take mind of everyday life.

Perfectly distopic sneak peak in a world where arts have lost all meaning. Disturbing and cute page turner.
