On the Verb to Think
Book Summary
A novel of self-discovery and contemporary romantic narrative that explores the inner journey of Gina, a woman trapped in a loop of self-criticism and insecurity. Through her outsider's perspective, the protagonist faces an unforgiving mirror, seeking to break free from her obsessive thoughts and find self-love. A work that invites reflection on identity and personal growth.
What is it about?
Gina lives trapped in a cycle of negative thoughts that fuel her constant self-criticism, insecurity, and low self-esteem. Her pessimistic attitude and high standards lead her to feel like a constant failure, as if she were in a dance where she is always stepped on and her status as an outsider forces her to observe life from afar, through her camera. However, a series of life events pushes her to take a step forward in her self-discovery. The story unfolds through metaphors such as cinema, the metaverse, and truncated mirrors, elements that pitilessly examine what lies behind appearances. Gina, who does not feel happy, deeply longs to find love for herself, and the time has come to share her truth with the mirror.
