I heard of this book from Ms. Todes. At First, i thought the book was going to be boring because of the cover but when i began to read it i immediately knew i was wrong. In this book the author expresses a great deal of strong vocabulary. I think the other wanted readers not to judge others and to believe in their selves and love them selves. I would recommend this book to people who enjoy love stories. If i had to sum up this book in one sentence i would say, Billie James, the novels protagonist, feels as if she needs to change herself at this point in her life and she goes crazy and it leads her to making different decisions. From this book i learned that you shouldn't change yourself for anything or anyone. Thus book was really good, not only could you connect it to real life, but you felt as if you were actually apart of the book.
Did Not Finish
August 6, 2017Non mi piace. Non mi piace la prosa di Sandra, che si dilunga in spiegazioni inutili. Non mi piace il tono di Billie, la protagonista, che va bene che ha sedici anni, ma è una s….za menefreghista e superficiale. Non mi piace il ritratto che fa l’autrice degli italiani (“mangia spaghetti”, niente di che, ma detto da un’italiana fa calar la tristezza). Non mi piace il nome dell’amica di Billie, Elissa (ma che nome è?). E non mi piace saltare le pagine per arrivare a un aspetto piacevole della trama che magari arriverà anche, ma io non ho pazienza di aspettare. Abbandonato.

Un romanzo che adoravo da adolescente, mentre ora mi appassiona decisamente meno.
Comunque interessante per i temi difficili trattati in maniera relativamente leggera: le malattie terminali, le droghe, la ricerca della propria identità.
