nunca me había identificado tanto con una protagonista, te amo tori
me aburrió un poco el tema de solitario pero entiendo que se supone que todo giraba al rededor de eso jajshajhsja tambien entre mas se acercaba el final se ponía lento :(((

"Só sei que estou aqui. E estou viva. E não estou sozinha."

A page turner but not my favourite of Alice Oseman's. Some of the plot points are really far fetched, the writing is (understandably) a bit rough, and the book does not seem to know which genre to belong to, which is not necessarily a bad thing except that the 'intrigue' plot is established at the beginning, progresses very little while the romance plot develops and becomes the focus, and then resurfaces fully and moves extremely fast to finish up the novel.

-the plot was kinda unbelievable and a little extreme, but i honestly think that's what made this work so well. even tori admits herself that none of this happens in real life, it's too unbelievable...but it's so unbelievable i felt like i was there yk. there were times where i was grinning the book so hard my fingers were literally white.

- i need a michael in my life. michael i love you

- at the end, when tori almost kills herself, when charlie is the one to initially get her to stop and reorient herself, it reminded me of this quote from the book 'king of ashes' by s.a. cosby: "there's a thousand ways to die, he thought, but sometimes all it takes is one thing to make you want to live. like your brother remembering what you like on your pizza."

- funny enough this book actually helped me realize how badly i want to go back to school. her and michael talking at the end about how some people don't belong in a school cause that's just not them, it really got me thinking about why i moved online and what initially caused it. and the same feeling that happened then when i was 15, is the same feeling that was going on right now, the same suffocation. except this had nothing to do with school and what was going on there, it was just me having an identity crisis. anyways, long story short, i'm going back to college now cause that's the only place i know how to be myself really and i know it'll help me breathe for a bit. and cause i just miss school. and this book helping me realize that was actually so unexpected that was crazy.

It’s a good book but I got a bit confused at times. So many things that happened in the book I did not expect at all

Didn't enjoy as much as Oseman's other books, not entirely sure why [edit: maybe because this was her debut novel written when she was 17/18]. Kind of confused what I just read. Didn't really sympathise or understand the characters. Not a fan of how casually it toys with serious mental health subjects- as if it's just "teenager stuff". Disappointed, as I really enjoyed Heartstopper.
