612daphneh_'s review against another edition
3.5
Pas mal! C'était plus facile à lire que Regardes les lumières mon amour, et j'aimais ce livre. J'adore les descriptions de Lou, No, la famille, et bien sûr, de Lucas. Je ne sais pas pourquoi Lou n'était pas une couple avec Lucas à la fin du livre, mais dans ma tête, ils deviendront une couple. J'adore la lumière que Vignan a mis sur l'histoire de SDF, parce que c'est vrai qu'ils sont un groupe de gens qui la société a oublié ou a essayé d'oublier. Aussi, la depréssion aussi. La mort. La perdre.

I didn't quite know what to think about this book when I first started the first few pages I was ready to give up up just because of French names but I stuck with it this book is about a girl who is doing a school project about homeless people who live on the streets mostly female homeless people the book doesn't say it but I feel like the main character has autism or something like that she just has a lot of the characteristics and traits I feel like the homeless lady who she starts chatting to who is called no is taking advantage of her she will only chat to her basically when she buys her food and obviously because she's homeless she can't pay for the food I am not even going to try to attempt to say the main female characters name her mother has depression postnatal depression after she lost her baby Chloe this book doesn't go into too much detail about everything what happened with Chloe also our main character is scared to speak in public and she's doing this project on the homeless and she's interviewing them about how it is being homeless but too scared to speak in public when she has to speak about her Project it was a really good book at the minute I would call it a 3 star but I might change it to a 4 this was the first book I highlighted in so it is quite day to my heart

Una bellissima storia di una profonda amicizia improbabile e inimmaginabile.
Il racconto di Lou, dall'intelligenza precoce e fin troppo sviluppata, e di No, ragazza di strada piena di problemi, che si incontrano e diventano inseparabili è davvero emozionante.
Vengono a contatto due mondi totalmente differenti: quello protetto e avvolto di una tredicenne di famiglia agiata, e quello crudo, duro e difficile di una ragazza costretta a vivere per strada.
Entrambe le situazioni sono presentate bene e la fusione che viene fuori da queste due realtà è strana ma curiosa.
Le insistenti e continue domande di Lou sulla vita e i suoi misteri, inoltre, offrono degli ottimi spunti di riflessione e, spesso, ci fanno soffermare su aspetti della nostra vita che troppo spesso diamo per scontati.
Unica, grande pecca, lo stile con cui è scritto. Le frasi lunghe, piene di virgole, fanno sembrare la storia un unico, grande elenco di fatti e avvenimenti. Perciò il racconto sembra un po' buttato via, scorre troppo in fretta, non coinvolge pienamente e non emoziona.
In fondo, una bella storia, forse raccontata non proprio benissimo, ma interessante e affascinante.

Moje první přečtená odeonka nemohla být lepší. Tenoučká knížka No a já toho obsahuje mnohem víc než jen bezdomovectví. Po tomhle nemůžu jinak a musím si přečíst i další autorčiny knihy.

Okay, so it's a bit slow.
Once i reached around 2/3 of the way through I was hooked and finished the rest within a week. And had to add this to my "brb-crying" shelf. The ending was fairly abrupt and slightly rushed, but I feel like that doesn't give you time to process your emotions, hence, like me, it got me in my feelings a bit.
If I was to have criticisms, I believe that the wording at times was very word-y (which could likely be due to the translation), and felt very much like trying to read back from the mind of a 13 yr old girl who is too mature for her own good, so if that was a wanted effect, then it succeeded. And, as i mentioned before, the beginning was a bit of a drag, so I found it quite difficult to actually get into a habit with reading it. And contradictory to that, the ending was very sudden, and left me with a few unanswered questions, which again could put us in Lou's shoes, what with her also having unanswered questions for once in her life. For once, none of Lou's experiments could explain this conclusion.
Overall: 3/5 Stars
Characters: 4/5

En général, les histoires dans les romans ne sont pas comme dans la vraie vie. Dans les romans, il y a comme un peu d'espoir qui flotte, une porte de sortie, un édulcorant de mots, un monde embelli, moins vide, mois réel. Dans No et moi, c'est la vraie vie qui nous est montrée. La vie violente et absurde, avec ces gens qui partent et qui mentent parce qu'ils ne peuvent pas faire autrement et ces autres qui espèrent pour n'en être que blessés. C'est la vie avec tout ce qu'elle a d'inévitable. S'il y a du rêve, il est éphémère. On n'échappe pas à la réalité. Les choses sont ce qu'elles sont. On peut toujours se rebeller, elles nous échapperont. Un roman coup de poing qui m'a fait rire et pleurer. Qui m'a fait vivre.

I'm not sure what to say about this one. I liked the idea for the story, but it felt a little rushed and underdeveloped. I couldn't really figure out the main characters motivations, and had no idea what was going on inside any of the other characters heads.
This was a pretty quick read, but I'm not sure that I'd recommend it. It was very depressing, although I think it was supposed to come across as hopeful. Or maybe it was supposed to be depressing. I'm not quite sure what the author was going for here.
