Definitely 4 stars for me : Reason why I should trust Jacob Edwards recommendations blindly

Review:

I am never good at writing reviews so deal with me

Man I was so mad at Thomas treating Philippe like that. Like how could he do to him? I just hated the way Thomas treated him. He deserved so much better. Oh God, when will I get my Philippe to my Thomas self? I will keep them forever. But then I realized if I was Thomas in 1984, I would also act like him. We are cowards. He and I have so much similarities.

The shock when I found out Thomas killed himself. Man I really was hoping they're going to meet. I almost cried. I really wasn't expecting him to kill himself. I wish they could meet, reunite.

The book basically shows two teenagers finding out their sexuality. And it is so well written. A good book for getting out of your reading slump.

Livro curtinho e rápido de ler sobre gayzinhas se apaixonando no interior da França.

Não tinha como eu não amar. Inclusive fiquei querendo mais da história. Mesmo ela funcionando super bem no formato e tamanho que ela tem, mas como eu gostei da história e dos personagens, eu queria ficar com eles por mais tempo.

Quelle coïncidence.. Cette semaine, à côté de ce livre, j'ai également lu L'Adversaire de E.Carrère. Deux livres qui décrivent les conséquences très tragiques du mensonge, du mensonge aux autres mais peut-être surtout du mensonge à soi-même.
Quelle histoire! Il faudrait absolument que je lise autre chose de P. Besson.

Unexpectedly provocative, but somehow numb, portrayal of young love that never disappears from memory.
