J’ai adoré le détester. Ce livre a été dur à lire tant les relations entre les personnage sont bouleversante et compliquer à lire par certains moments. Ce livre me marquera longtemps je pense. J’ai aimer voir cette dualité intérieur du personnage principal, l’opposition de deux mondes différents profondément lié aux personnages. J’ai aimer le dénouement inattendu.

Dramatiskt tonårigt os kring denna bok. Som alla säger, fantastiskt skriven av en så ung person, såklart, det tror jag ingen är blind för. Jag har svårt att ser hur jag ska bry mig. Känns som att jag har blivit lurad in i att tro att det finns djup i någon av karaktärerna, men det gör nog inte det? Tre stjärnor istället för två då det alltid är trevligt att låtsas som att det enda som är viktigt är att åka lite båt, hångla och sola på en strand.

Las buenas novelas son a menudo difíciles de categorizar, y ésta, que es por derecho propio un perfecto homenaje al hedonismo mediterráneo y a la frágil veleidad adolescente, tan pronto se transforma en ese verano idealizado con que se sueña y que contadas veces se vive, -salvo en los años jóvenes-, repleto de salitre, oleaje y sudor; como se convierte en un melodrama de intensidad inusitada, sombrío y desangelado. El estilo de Sagan es irreprochable, y a él se le debe la facilidad con la que la narración cambia página tras página de humor; el humor díscolo de Cécile con el que será muy complicado no identificarse, aunque sea a costa de desenterrar lo que creíamos ya muy olvidado.

I didn’t expect to love this book as much as I did; it is a great short book to read. I felt that I related to many of the quotes (as the main character is 17 yrs old and the author was 18 when she wrote this.) She’s a troubled girl figuring herself out which makes her thoughts all that more enticing.

“I was fond of repeating to myself sayings like Oscar Wilde's:
"Sin is the only note of vivid colour that persists in the modern world."
