Cada vez que pienso en este libro me gusta más, a pesar de que tengo mis problemas con él. Empezando con la protagonista que me parece que en ocasiones puede ser bastante egoísta con los sentimientos de los demás, pero creo que es parte del punto del libro y al mismo tiempo me agrada, no te tiene que caer bien, solo es una persona de 17 años que está pasando por muchísimas cosas, incluyendo el duelo de alguien a quien amaba pero no puede externarlo de ninguna manera. Eso más aparte el resto de cosas que ocurren en su vida que tampoco son sencillas como el divorcio de sus papás, el alcoholismo de su mamá, escoger universidad, etc, etc, etc.

Por esta parte creo que es muy entendible como actúa y los errores que comete, y me agrada que no se busca romantizar esos errores y al final las cosas terminan como deben de serlo. No es una historia de amor, de superación o cualquier cosa que se te pueda ocurrir. Creo que es un libro que define muy bien el duelo que lleva una persona cuando alguien fallece, desde lo más puro de su corazón. No digo que sea una guía o algo para superar estos procesos, pero es la historia personal de alguien más y creo que está narrada muy muy bien

I listened to the audiobook version and the voice actress was so good, she made me feel all the emotions Cori was going through and honestly even made me cry at some points. As for the plot I just think that the whole Cori - Elissa thing was a bit pointless and unnecessary, like the story would have been perfectly fine without it, in my personal opinion I even found Elissa to be a very toxic character and even manipulative at some points. Other than that the story was really good, grief is portrayed in a very realistic and respectful way, showing that grief comes and goes, that is not just one linear thing. Overall my only problem was the romance plot line and maybe some of the characters including Cori (the protagonist) being really annoying at times

Such a beautiful contemporary novel about grief and identity - and fear, and coming out, and expectations, and making choices. I loved pretty much everything about it.

I wish I had a book like this about 7 years ago. I see myself in the main character and I couldn’t wait to see how it ended for her. This is my new favorite book and I can’t wait to read more by this author!

Loved the characterisation. Lots of emotion. Found it a little slow, but that's a personal preference. Still cried a lot.
