Procrastinei para ler este livro porque simplesmente NÃO QUERIA ACABAR!!! Perfeito! Tudo perfeito, cores perfeitas, ilustrações perfeitas, TUDO!
Comprava mais uma cópia só para tirar as paginas e emoldura-las na minha parede!
This book was perfect - since the begging to the last page! I wasn't expecting to be this amazing! One of the best experiences as a reader that I had until today! ❤️
What an amazing masterpiece!
(Friends reference) Matt Haig made me want to put this book in the freezer like Joe did in the saddest/scary moments (that were a lot).
I loved the environment, the way the library was designed in my head chef kiss. I really saw myself there with Nora and sometimes I was in her own shoes, and that's was the hardest part of reading bc I think we all at some point though what would be our lives if we didn't made “that” decision, it's fun picturing in our heads when we don't see what would be the live of our loved ones (if they're alive for an instant, yepp! Never thought of that.. don't want to think again.. I'm happy with my root life bc in this life at least I have 100% sure my most loved ones are alive and well.)
Another thing I really appreciate in this book was science+physics. Scientists are my guilty pleasure! They're weird (in the best way possible), and I enjoy reading about their theories and the way they live, and made me smile a lot when I saw some of the theories and scientists that I already knew mention in this book like the theory of the cat in the box: “the cat in the box is both alive and dead. You could open the box and see that it was alive or dead (...) but in one sense, even after the box is open, the cat is still both alive and dead. Every universe exist over every other universe.”
I feel I was capable of writing 25 pages about this book, a lot to say, a lot to feel in this several lives that Nora lived + the physics. I'll not though
Vou começar por dizer que romances não é de facto o meu género de livros, mas arrisquei ler este por ouvir falar tanto nele. Eu caracterizo mais por ser um drama/romance (e se há drama eu gosto)!
O livro é contado de forma pouco habitual cronologicamente, do presente para o passado, e vamos assim conhecendo a história e o percurso de Robert e Emily. A primeira parte do livro já começa por ser arrebatadora, na verdade, em todas as 5 partes surge algo que nos faz apertar o coração, mas acredito que NINGUÉM, nem eu própria estava à espera do final! Ainda não passou 24h e continuo chocada - o que é bom porque ainda há tantos assuntos tabus para desconstruir-mos - mas ainda não consegui digerir o final, não estava nada, mesmo nada à espera! Posso dizer que nunca nenhum livro me surpreendeu tanto como este o fez e tão bem! (ao ponto de chegar a fazer pesquisa sobre o próprio assunto) 5/
Todo este livro foi lido com a sensação de que já tinha ouvido as inúmeras histórias presentes, não mencionando os vários clichês.
Beatriz é uma personagem extremamente desgastante e cansativa, depois de alguns capítulos ponderei que se desse ao facto de esta sofrer com ansiedade generalizada, no entanto, Beatriz é uma personagem demasiado “plástica”, ou seja, demasiado perfeita, cheia de frases feitas e com lições para todos e qualquer ocasião que me fazia revirar os olhos tantas vezes quanto páginas tem o livro. Não pudendo deixar de mencionar o facto de esta sublinhar vezes suficiente para fazer-me voltas a barriga as características emocionais diferentes entre o homem e a mulher, e justificar ações devido a essas mesmas. A sensibilidade ou o gosto por flores pode ser encontrada em qualquer dos gêneros. Não é justificação para qualquer atitude sensível que uma mulher (e apenas uma mulher, foi pelo menos essa ideia que fiquei) possa ter. “Porque sou mulher”. rolling eyes
Leonardo, aparte do episódio inicial com a cadela - não confio em pessoas que não gostam de cães ahah - foi a única razão que me fez concluir o livro, nem a carta do Nicolau, chegou a um ponto que nem estava interessada em saber a tal “receita do amor”. No entanto, acho que Leonardo merecia ter um foco diferente que teve, tantas longas frases “feitas” por Beatriz, poderia ser substituído por mais episódios de Leonardo.
Ok I get the hype! I GET IT!!! Its on my favorite book list now!! Not a single bad thing to say it about it, just brilliant!! And I even thought “I don't want to read it, I'm not interested on reading something about music... I don't like music that much”. Thank god I read it!!!!
PERFECT BOOK! ❤️ PERFECT!!! ❤️
Ps: also I recommend the audiobook, I listened along and it took this all experience to another level!
I pick up City of Ghosts maybe around march of this year, it was the first book that i read by Victoria Schwab. It was also the quick i ever read, until this one! It's easy to fall in love with Victoria Schwab writting and the worlds she creates, at least i can talk for myself.
I read in a lot of reviews that this book it's even better that City of Ghosts, i'm not sure, i love them both so much, but in this second one, we get to know more about Jacob, and how lovely and precious that little boy is!! That boy deserves both worlds (the living, the death and the in between). Also, Cassidy is a really bad ass for a girl of her age, i'm on my 20s and i would 100% not do it half of what she did!! I was always on Jacob side yelling at her! #anxiety
I'm heartbroken I won't be able to read this serie for the first time ever and I have still 4 books (counting novelas) to read.
I don't know what's happening this year but I'm reading a lot of books that breaks my soul and my heart..
I read it in a day - although I felt anxious most pf the time I couldn't put it down. I suffered along side Grace
DNF at 50%. I feel bad DNF a middle age, is one of my favourites genres, besides that the cover is BEAUTIFUL and the storyline seams great... Unfortunately, it was painful to get to 50%, I even tried the audiobook (sometimes helps me), but it was SO BORING!!!
4.75 ✨ the shortest but powerful story I ever read!! I have a lot to say, but not enough time in a lifetime.
