I’d just like to state, I love Paulo Coelho. I think he is a wonderful writer and I typically enjoy his writing. That being said, I hate how disconnected I was with this book. I definitely had bigger expectations. I dislike the main character and hated being in her head (the entire book is written in her perspective). She’s bored and lost, she needs to feel alive and womanly. You would think that this would be an attribute to the reality of the book but I just couldn’t relate or appreciate her struggles. Maybe another reader would like this book but I most certainly did not.
