I have wanted to read Adam Silvera for so long and I don't know what I was waiting for because this was amazing.
This book is so beautiful and I think it dealt with grief and Griffin's OCD really well. The relationships were really fleshed out and sweet, and I liked that we were reading about the present and learning about the past at the same time, in interchanging chapters. I finished the audiobook while walking my dog and thank god I had sunglasses on because it made me cry.

Älskade den men av någon anledning fastnade jag inte för den :(
I have mixed feelings about this book which is why I give it 4 stars instead of the 5 I usually give Adam Silvera books. I think this is partially my fault because I've read his books out of order, so the newer ones are seen as better to me as he's improved as a writer (not that he wasn't good before). I like the story and believe it describes love and grief very well, but I found it hard to follow as we constantly jumped between the past and present with every chapter. I understand why he did it since it's a book about grieving someone so the characters need space to remember the past, but for me personally it's always confusing when books constantly jump back and forth. Also, since I read his newer books before this one, I actually thought it was a little repetitive. I am also conflicted in this sense because I love the idea of an author putting their originality across their novels to connect them to the same universe, but I have to admit I sighed just a little when it was another novel about high school/college couples in New York where one has to move to California separating them, where they inevitably visit a post office and mail back an ex's things, etc etc etc. It's all the same storyline where I haven't decided whether I appreciate the consistency or not, but maybe I would think differently if I had read the books in order during the years they came out instead of within the same few days/months. I think I appreciate the smaller things better, like when they visit the same convenience store that his other character works at in a different book, or the small line mentioning his character has read his other book in another (sparse with details bc I don't know what counts as spoilers or not so I try to keep it less detailed). Either way, it's still a very touching story and he writes about very delicate topics with grace.

Me ha gustado y no me ha gustado y pese a eso lleva 4 estrellas...
El caso es q nos cuenta la historia de un adolescente y de la pérdida de su primer amor y de como se enfrenta a eso, o más bien no. Es un libro muy muy triste ya q obviamente habla de muerte, duelo y depresión, pero tb habla de amor y de primeras veces y en ese sentido es muy bonito.
Diría q es una especie de "libro para llorar" para adolescentes.
