I think this is my favorite book. It can be quite melodramatic and cliché but I can easily squeeze past through and still like it regardless. This is a great read. I think I cried five times while reading
interesting premise but loses steam and unravels into a bog standard young adult novel. bleh. disappointing.

"Luck plays a huge part in all the unfairness of the world. Even more than you’d expect."
"Books took me to places I could never go otherwise. They shared the confessions of people I’d never met and lives I’d never witnessed. The emotions I could never feel, and the events I hadn’t experienced could all be found in those volumes."
"Even though my brain was a mess, what kept my soul whole was the warmth of the hands holding mine on both sides."
"What I’m trying to say is that you might have just grown in a way that’s a little different from how other people grow."

Um livro curto e de rápida leitura e apesar de ser uma história meio triste, foi bastante interessante pelos varios temas explorados mas não me consegui apegar aos personagens e acho que isso acabou por estragar um pouco a minha experiência de leitura do livro.
Man, this book was so good. I actually loved it so much.
What made me love it? The obvious queer undertones. However, these queer undertones are clearly censored and thrown away which really dampened the mood for me.
Dora’s character literally comes out of nowhere, like this bitch was so out of pocket, she had me singing the backpack song.
If it weren’t for the queer baiting and failure to acknowledge that sometimes they can’t just be the “bestest of friends” it would have totally been a 5/5. Sadly the story is cut short after so much development because it assumably couldn’t safely be portrayed in a different way. (IMO)

Overall, I quite liked the book. Nice and easy to read. It is interesting how everything happens so fast, because of the main character's condition, but I would have loved a way more slow book, because the story was interesting, and I craved more I guess?
The end was quite... The ruin for me, at least the Steel Wire part. That was kinda out of nowhere, and I was not really enjoying it.
The end looks like the author really wanted to finish it, no matter what. To me, it was something like this meme that is a drawing of a horse and halfway is super well done and the second part is a kids drawing? Like that.
But I love the main character, and how the condition is portrayed in the book! As I said, I was craving more, so that means I actually enjoyed it.

Also felt not nourished enough (lol) from Dora's story, because as I said, everything went SO fast.The end was quite... The ruin for me, at least the Steel Wire part. That was kinda out of nowhere, and I was not really enjoying it.
