Bellissimo
Lo sto leggendo in inglese per non perdermi nella traduzione nessun dettaglio di questa storia meravigliosa. Ovviamente scorre che una meraviglia, quindi consiglio fortemente di optare per la lingua originale. La Walden è una vera artista, recupererò tutti gli altri suoi lavori.

Excellent book though buggy Kindle version
I gave this five stars for the content of the book, which is very good and has a lot of interesting narratives about things like found family. However, at the moment I don't recommend the Kindle version of this book: at least in the iOS client it's extremely buggy and tends to skip around pages and have half the screen randomly turn white. I'm not honestly sure if it's this particular book or the Kindle app itself (I suspect the latter).

Uma história singular
Essa história vai aquecer seu coração em dias difíceis. O traço e o jeito que Tillie Walden usa as cores é impressionante e tem uma capacidade de transmitir emoções única. Tudo é muito autêntico, desde as expressões nos rostos dos personagens, o jeito que eles falam, como se relacionam entre si e com o mundo ao redor. E que mundo interessante! Eu amo o fato desse livro ter uma sólida representatividade LGBTQI, com muito destaque para o "L" e para o "I". Quão melhor seria se uma adolescente lésbica pudesse ter apenas os problemas inerentes à adolescência. Melhor livro do ano até agora. Leiam!!
