A really great YA book I wish I'd read sooner. This was a friends' recommendation and my expectations were high, but the novel sure did surpass them. Teenagers being naturally portrayed -without falling into topics and such, especially when they are being written by adults- is always a good thing to read about. I'm not feeling really inspired tonight, but I'll be looking forward to reading the sequel and coming up with a more detailed review.
A veces estás de vuelta en casa y volver a uno de tus libros de la adolescencia se siente como un lugar seguro. Me gusta leer libros para adolescentes aunque yo ya sea una persona adulta. Al final las reflexiones siguen estando vigentes. A lo mejor los autores adultos que escriben libros para adolescentes lo hacen más para ellos mismos que para el lector objetivo. Sentirse perdida, las crisis de identidad, el no entender muy bien qué es el amor pero sí saber valorar a tus amigos son cosas que sentía con 15 años y sigo sintiendo a punto de cumplir 24, por frustrante y reconfortante que sea a la vez.
Have had this on the book shelf for more than 10 years, figured I'd better read it before sending it to the charity shop. Quiet interesting to read a very simple way teenaged book as an adult. Took me back to my school days for an easy 150 pages or so.
