Ich bekomme jedes Mal einen Kloß im Hals, wenn ich an dieses Buch zurückdenke. Für so schwere Themen, geht dieser Jugendroman sehr sensibel, sanft aber auch tief rein, so dass es mitten ins Herz trifft. Trauer, Wut, Depression und neue Hoffnung, werden selten so gekonnt eingefasst. Dellaira schreibt mit voller Seele und rührt ganz große Gefühle.
Jedoch muss man eine kleine Warnung aussprechen, da ich dieses Buch tatsächlich nicht für jeden etwas ist.

This is definitely going down as one of my favourites for the year.
Exceptionally well written, the style was unusual yet didn't feel awkward at all. The characterisation was executed incredibly well in my opinion and I really did connect with everyone.
Laurel's friends were real, fleshed out people. They weren't just there to exist, they added depth to the story and I loved getting to know them, and fighting for them too.
"We will stay where the sky is deep electric blue, never turning to night—a place beyond time that can’t be touched."

This was a terrible waste of time. Seriously this book was just painfully slow, boring and filled with absolutely nothing noteworthy.
Laurel has no personality and tells the most boring stories you can imagine.
Dear Kurt Cobain,
Let me tell you how I don't know what to wear for school.
Dear Judy Garland,
Let me tell you how I can bore you to death by telling you things about you!
Dear John Keats,
Let me tell you about the most childish New Year's party ever.
Her writing in my head sounds like a monotone voice completely void of any kind of emotion. On top of that immense boredom, she is childish. She comes across as a ten year old, telling an adult about what she has seen and feeling all kinds of sophisticated when she get's an intelligent sounding word right.
Other than that there is no personality to her. It's just all so so boring, it really is bad.
Seriously, don't waste your time on this book!

"Sé que escribí cartas a personas que ya no tienen direcciones en este mundo, sé que están muertos.
Pero los escucho. Los escucho a todos ustedes. Estamos aquí. Nuestras vidas importan.
-Laurel."

I give up. I made it 75 pages in. I normally give myself 100 pages before I give up but not on this one. Sorry :(
