A Study in Drowning

Llegó en muy buen estado y nada maltratado

This was everything 😭😭😭 and it’s now one of my favourite books of all time. Here's my spoiler free review:A Study in Drowning is a dark academia novel that delves into the theme of women in literature, exploring how their contributions are often forgotten as they are perceived to have frivolous minds by the men in society. The novel features beautiful writing, and the use of water as a symbol is executed phenomenally.The author does a great job in exploring this theme through the main character, Effy, who has always believed in fairytales. Due to this belief, she greatly admires the work of Emrys Myrddin, particularly his book: Angharad. When Myrddin passes away, Effy is invited to redesign the author's estate. In the course of this project, Effy meets Preston, a literature student working on a thesis to prove that the work attributed to Myrddin is not his own. As the plot unfolds, these two begin to uncover various pieces that they must fit together to get closer to the truth.The plot in this book is a chef's kiss. I was hooked from the beginning to the end. One of the main reasons this book resonated with me is because of the main character: Effy. Throughout the entire reading experience, I felt like I was her; I connected with her on a deep, personal level. Even after finishing the book, I couldn't stop thinking about this book. I sat down and thought this was everything and so much more, so I decided to annotate it. There’s so many good quotes in this book that I highlighted, scenes with Effy and Preston together were so cute and wholesome. I have so much love for these two that I can't even explain. This book owns me and is now officially my favorite standalone ever. Going to end this review by giving it infinity stars. The whole entire book is my favorite but I thought I would share some of the quotes:“There was an intimacy to all violence, she supposed. The better you knew someone, the more terribly you could hurt them.”“When men fall into the sea, they drown. When women meet the water, they transform. It becomes vital to ask: is this a metamorphosis, or a homecoming?”“The only enemy is the sea.”“But I'll fight for you, Effy, I promise.”"I have faith in you-in both of us.”
