emotional sad fast-paced

• Plot- or character-driven? A mix
• Strong character development? It's complicated
• Loveable characters? Yes
• Diverse cast of characters? No
• Flaws of characters a main focus? It's complicated

4.5

Ho letto questo libro tutto d'un fiato, lasciandomi trascinare dalla storia. E' stato sicuramente un colpo al cuore, mi ha fatto versare molte lacrime, ma è un libro che consiglierei a tutti, specialmente ai membri della comunità queer. Faccio davvero fatica a trovare le parole per descriverlo. 
I miei pensieri vanno a tutte quelle persone che, nonostante non siamo più negli anni '80, continuano a provare sentimenti simili a quelli di Philipphe e Thomas, a tutte quelle persone che per via di una società deviata continuano a reprimere le loro emozioni, i loro sentimenti, le loro identità, nella speranza che prima o poi tutto questo finisca davvero.
