“Do you think, sometimes, that you’re just doing things, not because you want to, but because people expect you to?” (Nick Nelson, Heartstopper)

Ja, dat is waar dit boek over gaat. Het kwam nogal binnen. Dat je sommige dingen als heel vanzelfsprekend ziet, daar je hele leven aan wijdt en dat vervolgens blijkt dat je dat misschien helemaal niet wilt?

Ik vond dit een supermooi boek en begin een milde Alice Oseman-verslaving op te lopen denk ik. De manier waarop ze het denken en doen van jonge mensen weergeeft voelt daadwerkelijk als iets waar ik mezelf in kan herkennen, i.p.v. veel boeken (en vooral series) die ik vroeger veel keek. Het is super oprecht, en wel zo oprecht dat ook moeilijke dingen langs komen in het boek. Denk aan depressie en z*lfmoord, veroorzaakt door pestgedrag. Dat maakt het boek echt, zeg ik zonder dat ik het wil romantiseren. Het zijn serieuze thema’s, en door dit soort boeken heb ik het gevoel alsof ik meer begrip heb voor mensen die hiermee dealen, en ik misschien zelf ook eerder zou zien als ik er last van heb.

Kortom: weer een heel mooi boek van Alice Oseman, vol met queerness!!🏳️‍🌈🏳️‍🌈🏳️‍🌈🏳️‍⚧️🏳️‍⚧️🏳️‍⚧️

It's one of my favorite books so far ; I loved all of Alice's books though. She's an amazing writer.

I think this book is a great one to read during your senior year of high school, it really does a good job at capturing a lot of the feelings that come with college applications and preparing for the future and whatnot. I think a lot of people feel seen by this book which is fantastic. My only thing is that I didn't LOVE how awkward the dialogue felt at times but I'm not really pressed about that I still really enjoyed it.

Me inspiró a hacer mi propia cuenta de escritura. ¿Tengo que decir más?

Cómo con todos los de Alice, me sentí profundamente identificada con los personajes, especialmente con Frances y Aled. Yo también dependo de la validación académica y me gustan los podcasts, ¿ok?

Son personajes que te pueden llegar a frustrar, pero entiendes sus motivos, sus miedos, aspiraciones y cómo la vida adulta los confunde tanto. Ver como evolucionan y salen de sus moldes es hermoso. El final es el mejor que se le pudo haber dado.

Muchísimos puntos por tocar el tema de la demisexualidad en 2014. Alice for the win.

Definitivamente lo recomiendo (Welcome To The Night Vale, voy por ti).

Good writing and whatnot. Cute and lovable characters, too. I just don't think it was my kind of book right now.
