Truly, Madly, Deeply

Autor Alexandria Bellefleur
en Limba Engleză Paperback – 30 apr 2024

Ce se întâmplă atunci când arhitecta unor lumi cu final fericit încetează ea însăși să mai creadă în iubire? În Truly, Madly, Deeply, notăm cu interes o explorare vulnerabilă a momentului în care certitudinile profesionale se ciocnesc dur cu eșecurile personale. Truly Livingston, o scriitoare de succes ale cărei romane sunt etalonul romantismului, se trezește într-o poziție de impostor: trebuie să ofere sfaturi despre relații într-un podcast, în timp ce propria viață sentimentală este un câmp de ruine. Credem că tensiunea acestui volum este magistral construită prin contrastul dintre optimismul forțat al lui Truly și cinismul tăios al coprezentatorului ei, Colin McCory.

Imaginați-vă tensiunea și chimia electrică din Written in the Stars, mutată într-un decor de studio de înregistrări, unde fiecare microfon deschis devine un câmp de luptă ideologic. Dacă în Hang the Moon Alexandria Bellefleur celebra gesturile grandioase inspirate de filmele clasice, aici considerăm că autoarea face un pas spre o maturitate narativă mai sobră, deconstruind mitul iubirii perfecte prin ochii unui avocat de divorțuri. Relația lor evoluează organic de la o antipatie viscerală, marcată de replici acide, spre o prietenie fragilă care le forțează limitele.

Elementul distinctiv al acestui roman polițist al sufletelor este felul în care tratează identitatea queer: nu ca pe un obstacol, ci ca pe o parte integrantă a complexității personajelor care caută autenticitatea într-o lume a aparențelor. Stilul este efervescent, cu un ritm susținut de dinamica podcastului, oferind acea combinație de „steamy rom-com” și introspecție psihologică pe care fanii genului o apreciază la Alexandria Bellefleur.

De ce să citești această carte

Recomandăm această carte cititorilor care savurează tropos-ul 'de la dușmani la iubiți' și dialogurile pline de duh. Este o lectură despre reconstrucție personală și curajul de a fi vulnerabil atunci când toate barierele tale defensive par să funcționeze. Dacă v-au plăcut dinamica de grup și căldura din Playing for Keeps sau umorul situațional din The Fiancée Farce, veți găsi în această poveste o perspectivă sinceră asupra a ceea ce înseamnă să iubești „cu adevărat, nebunește, profund”.

Notă biografică

Her special skills include finding the best Pad Thai in every city she visits, remembering faces but not names, falling asleep in movie theaters, and keeping cool while reading smutty books in public. Her debut novel, Written in the Stars, was a 2021 Lambda Literary Award winner and a 2020 winner of The Ripped Bodice Awards for Excellence in Romantic Fiction.
