"زمانی به من می‌گفتند افسانه‌ها را باور نداشته باشم. به من می‌گفتند که فقط رویاپردازها سرشان را در ابرها می‌کنند و چشم‌های‌شان را به ستاره‌ها می‌دوزند. به من می‌گفتند که عشق واقعی فقط در کتاب و فیلم است؛ که زندگی به من می‌آموزد که هیچ‌یک از این چیزها در دنیای واقعی وجود ندارد.
کاملا اشتباه می‌کردند.
باور من به افسانه‌ها و عشق واقعی من را سرپا نگه می‌دارد؛ من را در دنیایی زنده نگه می‌دارد که همیشه پذیرای رویاپردازها نیست و درحالی که پاهایم همیشه روی زمین است؛ نگاهم همیشه به آسمان بالا و دنیای فرای آن است."

من فکر می‌کردم از این عاشقانه‌های تینجیری معمولی باشه؛ ولی مثل پنج قدم فاصله شگفت‌زده‌م کرد.
یکم پایانش زیادی تخیلی شد :)) ولی در کل واقعا یه‌چیز دیگه بود.

5 Stjerner. Læste den på dansk. Først som e-bog og så fysisk til bogklub.

Ok that was weird. I wanted to love this one so bad but it was a complete let down:( At first it was super slow, kinda boring, a lot of things didn’t make sense. Then some of these things started making sense because after the plot twist (which was perfectly shocking, that’s why I didn’t end up giving it two stars but three stars instead). But then at the same time the plot twist kinda makes it even weirder when you think about it. And the ending… agh, it was suddenly going SO fast and.. it just seriously got too weird. I’m sorry, but no. I think this all-over-the-place-review perfectly captions my all-over-the-place-feelings while reading this.

I almost DNF'd this so many times... it took me over a month to convince myself to finish it. It was so slow... It seemed like nothing was happening for the first 200 pages.

I don’t give five star ratings to books often. Not that I don’t love and adore books and the stories within, but because I find myself holding back for the truly incredible.

I’m so thankful to my dear friend Shelby for recommending this - even when I stopped partway and told her in not so many words that I’d hate her forever if she gave me another book that was going to tear me in two.

This lovely book is a story of heartbreak and hope, loss and grief and love. Conversations we wish we could have, and the bravery it takes to say something when the moment is right. What makes us who we are, and how others can find us when we’ve all but given up. And most importantly, love. It’s about love.
