Bueno, no sé que decir... Imagino que 3 estrellas o 3.5 son las ideales para este libro.

Me encanta la forma de escribir de Jennifer Niven y "All the bright places", su anterior libro, me tocó el corazón de una forma increíble. Quizá por eso tenía las expectativas demasiado altas con este libro y por eso no me ha acabado de gustar.

Los personajes me han encantado, están muy bien construidos y son muy diferentes a lo que solemos encontrar. Sin embargo, aunque Libby lucha por ser algo más que su peso, creo que Jack únicamente es definido por su enfermedad, faltándole rasgos de personalidad que lo identifiquen o que nos ayuden a conectar con él. Por otro lado, la historia de amor me ha parecido algo forzada, los veo más como amigos, pero no he sentido esa chispa que se supone hay que sentir cuando dos personajes se enamoran. En definitiva, me ha parecido un libro bien escrito, con personajes muy peculiares, que da mensajes positivos e importantes, pero a la que le falta algo. Peca de monótona, durante la gran parte del libro he tenido la sensación de que en realidad no estaba pasando nada.

I adore Libby. I adore her courage and everything she stands for (and stands up to) throughout the book

I loved the slow burn of Libby and Jack coming together

Made my standards for men very high, but 10/10 would read again and I'm in love.
