I’m not a fan of the writing style of the characters. “ the world is mad cruel.” It sounds like he's trying too hard to appeal to teens.
This book does not have any real discernible climax or resolution. The events seem very random and don’t follow a theme or goal. The characters are flat and seem to make decisions to drive the plot of these random events, rather than reflect good character.
This book will not keep you up at night. It will not make you cry. However, it is perfect for making you tired before bed.
Moderate: Grief and Car accident
Minor: Gun violence

E' facile anche affezionarsi ai personaggi, vivendo le ultime ore della loro vita con loro, vedendo i loro pensieri ed emozioni. Ti portano fin da subito a provare un senso di speranza per loro, nonostante la premessa e il titolo del libro. Avendo sofferto di problemi d'ansia, ho trovato Mateo particolarmente facile da capire e immedesimarmi.
Il punto più negativo per me è stata la scrittura. Ho trovato alcuni dialoghi veramente irrealistici, troppo forzati. Passavo dall'essere totalmente immerso nel libro, ad amare i personaggi e gioire o piangere con loro nella pagina prima e nella pagina dopo mi ritrovavo davanti a qualche dialogo che mi faceva uscire immediatamente da questa "trance" e mi ricordava dov'ero realmente.
E' stato davvero complicato dare un voto he riuscisse a bilanciare questi due aspetti del libro.
