یادداشت هستی

        It took me some time to finish this because of exams and the reading slump that I was in afterward. At times, I really liked this book. At times, I just wanted it to finish. I don't really know how I can put my thoughts about it into words because it was so intense. It was not a love story, but it was a story about love and how lonely we are without it and how hard it is to truly love another but it's the only thing we can do because we don't know any other way to save each other. My only problem with this book was how badly the female characters were written. Their problems were always centered around men, their pain was reduced to the men they had to deal with. They were written in a very unrealistic, manic pixie dream girl way and I hated that so much. I think Giovanni's Room is a more refined and a better version of this book but still I enjoyed both of them very much and will definitely read more of Baldwin's works.
