Hola! Acabo de acabar este libro y quiero comentarles mi opinión.
La narración de la historia es amena y la trama te logra atrapar en verdad.
Es un libro que narra la superación de la protagonista y todo lo que ella tiene que hacer para descubrir su identidad como persona.
Los personajes me parecieron auténticos y logre simpatizar con cada uno de ellos.
Es una historia muy bonita que quedará en mi corazón por eso pero siento que falto algo.
Aun así lo recomiendo ya que si quieres leer algo que sea más o menos tranquilo, que lo puedas leer de una pasada. Es el libro adecuando

This book had an interesting premise with writing letters to popular actors/musicians that have died. I was thinking while reading it that some kids might not know who some of the people were but the author gave background information for each of them that went along with Laurel's story which I thought was clever.
I wasn't a big fan of Laurel. I know she went through a lot especially Also, I was pissed at her when she was allowing that friend of her sister's boyfriend to take advantage of her. While I was reading it, I wanted to yell at her to tell her that she was smarter than that to let him do that!!!
One thing that "urks" me with YA literature is when the parents are sucky parents. I know it must be super hard to loose a love one especially a son or daughter but for Laurel's mom to just leave her and her dad and move out to California was selfish in my opinion. I'm glad at the end her parents' behavior seem to change for the better.
This book will be for fans of Perks of Being a Wallflower although I have to admit I liked that much more than this.

with witnessing her sister commit suicide which shocked me. Her sister didn't show that she was depressed and I was surprised when she jumped. There must have been something going on with the last guy she dated because the last time she saw him, she was crying and upset.One thing that "urks" me with YA literature is when the parents are sucky parents.

Libro estúpido, me hizo llorar T_T
Ahora, hablando en serio. El libro me encantó y al mismo tiempo me puso de mal humor. A nivel "literatura", es genial. Una idea diferente, una historia llevadera, se lee rápido, atrapa al lector y es interesante.
Ahora bien, todo esto de nenas de 14 años que se escapan de noche por la ventana, salen con chicos mayores, se emborrachan, se drogan y son casi violadas, etc.. no me gusta para nada. No porque sea "conservadora", sino porque la autora lo presenta como si esa fuese la cosa normal para todos los adolescentes. En esta novela TODOS son o casi violado o casi violadores, o se emborrachan, o se escapan de noche o se drogan o algo... vamos, tienen 14 años, no es lo común. ¿Pasa? sí, hay casos en los que pasa. ¿Es lo más común que le sucede a casi todos los jóvenes? No. Definitivamente no lo es.
Me alegra haberlo leído en inglés (tengo ambas versiones), porque tiene MUCHO del día a día estadounidenses: marcas, costumbres, lugares, eventos, etc que aunque puedan ser traducidos, se pierden.

No lo termine, leí hasta la pagina 70 aproximadamente.
No hay nada malo en sí con la novela. Simplemente a mi no me gusta el estilo y no me atraía nada de la historia ni sus personajes.

It took me a very long time to read this book. I had to set it down for weeks at a time just because I couldn't handle it sometimes. This book is sad. If you are looking for a happy go-lucky book, do not even attempt to read this book.
This book made me question everything I thought I knew about being a sister and experiencing, love, and life, and loss.
This book is also not exactly an easy read because of how much the author makes you think.
I think the only flaw of this book is that I could agree with some of the stuff that was said through out this book, but at the same time, I agreed completely. Which never usually happens with me and books.
This book hit me on a personal level and I loved it.
It's on my list of books I'll never forget.
