HarperTeen 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.”

18yo Effy loves literature and desperately wants to attend the literature college but has settled for the architectural college where she’s the only female student. Her advisor has taken advantage of her and holds it over her head and now she’s shunned by the other students. She applies for the chance to draw plans for her favorite author’s new home, partly to escape the stigma surrounding her at school and mostly to get the opportunity to meet the late author’s family and see his home where he wrote her favorite works. She’s surprised but thrilled when she’s chosen. When Effy arrives at the manor, she’s shocked at its dilapidated state and the darkness that seems to surround it. She meets Preston, a literature student writing his thesis on the same author, and Ianto, the enigmatic son who runs the manor and wants Effy to quickly draw the blueprints for the updated manor. The mysterious surroundings pull Effy and Preston into dangerous territory and they have to fight for everything they believe in if they’re going to survive.Likes/dislikes: An absolutely perfect example of magic realism. Effy is a strong character struggling with the lack of rights for women. Preston is a gentleman through and through.Mature Content: PG-13 for sex with minimal detailLanguage: PG-13 for 14 swears and no f-words.Violence: PG-13 for sexual harrasment and bullying by classmates.Ethnicity: Ethnicity is predominantly white. Preston has fawn-colored skin.
