Świetnie się bawiłam przy tej książce, połowę przeczytałam jednym tchem i siedziałam po nocy by ją skończyć. Oczywiście książka typowa dla YA, szukanie siebie, szkolne życie,  pierwsze miłostki, ale szczerze bardzo mi się podobała. Dobrze napisana, bogate słownictwo, humor trafiający w mój gust. Były też momenty na reflekje, smutek i łzy w oczach. Idealna mieszanka emocji, niczego za dużo, niczego za mało. Postacie nie nazbyt rozbudowane ale nie odczylam tego az tak bo nawet w realnym życiu nie wiemy o innych wszystkiego. Książka po prostu prawdziwa, jkazujaca dobre i złe strony życia, że nie wszystko jest cukierkowe i piękne.

“Whatever happens”—his grip tightens a little—“I wish you all the best, Benjamin De Backer.” He says it with a smile. “You deserve it.”

➽ I finally got around to reading I Wish You All the Best! It's an emotional story about Ben, a nonbinary teen whose coming out goes horribly wrong. They are thrown out of their parent's house and have no choice but to go live with their estranged sister. Hannah never got along with their parents, so they barely knew each other. Luckily, she takes in Ben and tries to help them together with her husband. I really felt for Ben, as they were in a bad situation and struggled to adjust to their new life. I liked that we saw Hannah and Ben reconnecting and dealing with their shared past, as a lot of things were left unsaid. Ben's also attending therapy for their anxiety and panic attacks, which was worsened by their parent's rejection and bigoted behavior. I appreciated the mental health representation and how Ben finds Nathan, a charismatic student at their new school who's super supportive. Their growing dynamic was really sweet and just what Ben needed in order to have the courage to deal with their struggles!

Me encantaría poder regresar en el tiempo y dárselo a mi yo más pequeñe para que sepa que no está sole. Éste libro es como un abrazo cálido.
