lack of attention, influence and jealousy are dangerous things

that is a cliffhanger my friends
the smut

if perfection was a book, then it's this one

I felt so seen, the way her brain works is so well described
(the suicidal episode in particular)


but the very last sentences left me perplexed, being mentally ill isn't a mindset but a disease and you can recover only thanks too therapy :)

I hated her, I hated her so much it could had burned a hole in my chest, I hated her when I should have hated him

I LOVED it

I really tried but I'm just lost, I'm not in the story whatsoever, feel like I can't grasp any information so... yeah

that was... very deeply emotional
a love story but not a romantic one

4,5

4,5
hard book with sensitive topics
as human, I think that we need to question ourself on those things happening in our world

this ! this was something
5 stars, new favorite series already

4,75
the last chapter ?!?? it hits right in the heart
it's kinda crazy that someone can depict humans personalities and coping mechanisms, insanely amazing

I thought it was going to be a 5 stars but it is a good 4

4,25 STUNNING
short chapters that always end on a cliffhanger, i read it so fast
THE END !! omg i need the sequel

stunning imagination

i donk know ?

cute (she made a playlist just about him giggling, this is my love language)
but teenagers are so harsh between each others
also I don't really think that YA romcoms are for me anymore

that's not fair....

I wasn't ready for this AT ALL
I really didn't like beach read, very cliché but it was a year ago so I gave a shot to this one and omg I don't regret my choice
the problematic of the two mc hits me right in the middle of my heart, alex is me, I'm alex
AND it's important to say that I don't like romance like I used to, I almost never gave a romance 5 stars but... here we are friends !!

“how to exorcise a story that had never been told”
this is a book for people who need to write in order to exist

it is about immigrant experience, family hood and how the lives of our ancestors influence on our own lives, aka intergenerational transmission

the story is from different perspectives (past/present) with four main threads that converge and diverge within the story; julia alvarez bring all those threads together in a coherent and smoothly way

overall I really enjoyed this book, I would say that perhaps the audiobook is not the best way to consume this story, I recommend the physical book (even if the audio is great)

thank you netgalley for the copy
