This book displays the ultimate paradox of narrative seduction. The novel reads like a handwritten note from one friend to another with undertones of the manipulation of a writer. For those of you who have ever been over-analyzing a love lost or a romantical tryst the words on the pages will jump out at you like your teen-age diary. Although I adored the book I found myself feeling the dreaded feelings of second-hand embarrassment. For those of you who can't read Spanish get the English translation: A Matter of Self-Esteem. You'll totally and completely fall for it and after you finish reading you'll spend countless hours obsessing over it.
