Perfect Days by Raphael MontesMy rating: 5 of 5 stars
What a book! It's one of the most stunning books I've read in the last months (and I've read many, believe me). The subject is creepy, sad, difficult, even sick... and I just kept reading.
Teo, a lonely medicine student, meets Clarice who is the opposite: fun, friendly, open.
He falls in love with her and starts stalking her. She finds out and firmly tells him she doesn't care for him and to get out of her life. So what does Teo do? He decides she has to know him better, as that will surely change her mind. In order for that to happen, he kidnaps her and takes her on a road trip that mirrors the places she writes about in a screenplay.
Clarice doesn't see things the same way so she tries to escape, several times, until the very end and with terrible consequences.
The book develops smoothly, one thing after the other, but the end is what makes it brilliant! No spoilers here, you have to read it. But be warned, it's dark!
I received an ARC of this book in exchange for an honest review
