In this post I will talk about the book that has impacted me the most personally and has made me value my life a little more, it is called "Verónika decides to die" by the author Paulo Coelho.
The book tells the story of a woman who decides to commit suicide because she did not find meaning in her life and that is why she becomes intoxicated with pills with the illusion of not waking up again. Unfortunately for her, her suicide attempt was a failure as she was found and rushed to hospital. Veronika wakes up in an asylum for having tried to kill herself, in this place of confinement she is diagnosed with a rare disease caused by the pills that I take. This disease has no cure and therefore they tell you that you will die in a short time.
Veronika begins to reconsider the things she has in her life and the people who love her and are around her, and she begins to regret that she will be locked up until the day she dies.
in the madhouse she meets a ecquisphrenic guy with whom she falls in love. Both completely in love with each other, they learn that Veronika's death will be ahead of schedule as her heart was failing. The night before his supposed day of death, both decide to escape from the asylum. The next day Veronika and her lover wake up and realize that she did not die. This is how Veronika ventures into the world together with her lover, living each day as if it were the last.
I hope you like this review and give this book a try!
Checked.
