aaaagghhhh what did i just read!!!!THE BEST BOOK YOU COULD GIFT A WOMAN WHO IS IN THEIR 20S.

I laughed, giggled, cried, gasped and felt all the other one hundred emotions reading this. This is the bible for womanhood.

Boyyyyy this was disturbingly good. I fucking loved this. Definitely gonna re-read this. I love how the story is so weird and ambiguous; leave yourself asking the question "Wtf did i just read?" 🌟

Aaaghhhh!!! This book is so cozy. Love it. I may re-read this from time to time.🥹

I read Pride and Prejudice for the first time in seventh grade and remember getting so fuzzy and cozy with the plot. I made my cousin name her cat, Darcy, after this book: so it's evident how much I adore this little story. Best re-read ever and will read again sooner.

I love the storytelling mastery of Pamuk. But I doubt this book is his prime. The plot was nice, but I hated almost every single character except for Kemel's driver Cetin Effendi. After a certain point, description on Kemel's obsessive love towards Füsun gets so repetitive. Pretty positive the novel could be condensed into 400 pages.  

I had read several reviews of this work. Several lines and poems in this book captured my heart immediately; especially, the one where Labanya talks about how Mumtaz had to die to let Shahjahan's dream come true. I don't know why but I was drawn to Yogamaya and Labanya more than Amit <3
