At first, I wasn’t sure what to think… but as I kept reading, I connected more and more with the story of Lexi/Alexis! This was such a heartwarming read that reminded me to love myself, through the good and bad.

Para mim, este livro significou algo e ainda não defini o que é. Não esperava o quão profundamente ia gostar dele. Tendo lido "The perfect marriage" primeiro e não gostado muito, realmente não esperava muito. Até revirei os olhos algumas vezes no começo, mas acabou sendo uma história comovente e profunda em ser aquele tipo de livro arrogante que e vende como muito intelectual. As experiências em nossas vidas nos tornam quem somos e Alexis foi capaz de vê-los de uma perspectiva e idade diferentes, visitando seu passado e tomando melhores decisões e/ou apreciando as decisões que ela tomou. Foi uma leitura muito divertida e recomendo pra quem gosta de sentir nostalgia e se pergunta "e se" de vez em quando. É uma história de amor mágica mas sobre aprender a amar a si mesma.

I loved the plot of this book and it made me think on if that happened to me, what kind of trouble I'd be up to back then. *Cringe* There were so many nostalgic moments in this book that brought back memories from when I was in highschool and referenced things I've completely forgotten about that are obsolete in today's world.

Jeneva Rose has quicky become one of my favorite authors. Not only can she pen some super twisty thrillers, she can write a heartfelt fiction that makes you cry happy (and sad) tears. I'm always looking forward to whatever she comes up with next because I know it's going to be great!
