Marianne and Connell are lucky to have met each other. They both have people who know and understand each other. This gives them more power to fight against the mainstream and the center, and to fight together.
Loving someone is a process of healing oneself
I accidentally saw this TV series of the same name before. It's a clip of them going to middle school. It was well shot, with a lot of details inserted. Reminds me of my middle school. The same grade number one, a loner. Later, I went to a very good high school where there were many powerful people, and my life was confused for a while. Later, when I met my husband as an undergraduate, I found the meaning of life. This book allowed me to bring myself very much into it. The hurt from my family of origin makes me always ask for love, but only good relationships can fill the emptiness in my heart. The author's understanding of emotions is subtle and delicate, and the description makes it easy for people to feel involved. The scene jumps are very interesting, and he is good at seeing the big from the small. After reading it, you can reflect on your own heart. The disadvantage is that some scenes permeate the management class with a sense of emptiness, and even trying to portray a positive person is unsuccessful. However, this is also the discomfort that arises in me due to different social and national conditions. After all, the author is from a developed country, and I am a child who grew up in a developing country. Finally, this author often focuses on love and feels that his position is not broad enough and he does not touch on some very profound issues. I personally don't like this very much either. This book has the feeling that the princes and princesses have a happy life when they are together, but they have chaotic lives when they are not together. When I was a child, I read too many books with this kind of love concept, and I forgot about the stars and the sea, and I forgot about pursuing my dreams. I don't want my children to read this book before they are 18 years old. At an age when you should be working hard for your dreams, you are now thinking about violence and sex. I was like that back then, and now I regret not taking the time. Now women's videos and online articles are all about setting up girls' schools to promote social development. Or does a broader perspective make more sense. Flaws do not hide the advantages, overall four stars.
Two abnormal people, but they feel extremely harmonious together. Marianne and Connell are not normal to others, but they are normal to each other.
The separation of Marianne and Connell is always easy to touch people's hearts. The two of them have been joining the group to keep warm. Only when they are together can they have the sense of security and relaxation they should have.
The heroine's experience is regrettable. But "she surrendered to him, but he chose to forgive her", this kind of love is really good.
The story of an Irish Phoenix man
The writing is quite detailed and boring, just like the Phoenix Man thing. 😘
