"Hello. I hope somebody is listening...."
Everyone who ever said this was the most relatable thing they've read - they're not lying.
Relationships between friends, lovers, parents/family, academics, interests, and so forth can affect you more than you think. It's hard to swallow that pill of fear but sometimes having someone to reassure you that you are more than just your performance in school is pretty much life changing. I also love how much communication is involved in this book. Communication can make or break your relationships with others, so if you haven't already, go talk and listen to that someone before it's too late. Absolutely fantastic read for me this year (and I'm kinda bummed I didn't pick this up before uni but eh).

Necesitaba algo más corto y sencillo después de mucha fantasía y aventuras.

A pesar de no ser el specific target audience para el libro, le he encontrado su encanto y es ligero y curioso. Me ha hecho recordar muchos momentos, tanto buenos como malos, de mis años de instituto.

No sé si la traducción influye, pero a veces los diálogos o la narración se me hacían un poco cringy. A veces también me quedaba perpleja con la forma de actuar de los personajes jovencitos, pero también era muy creíble que sus decisiones no siempre fueran acertadas porque ser adolescente es un poco ser así... No tener mucha idea de nada. Aunque no haya adorado el libro, no me arrepiento de leerlo. Es importante recordar que no pasa nada si no tienes las cosas claras and it does a good job delivering the message.
