This one took a while to get going. In the beginning, I almost quit reading. However, it did eventually pick up and about halfway through I knew I would finish it. It is a good YA read.
Me llevé una grata sorpresa, sabía que me gustaría pero no creí que tanto, no de esta manera. Todo el libro es maravilloso, no hay nada que te aburra en la lectura y los personajes son fabulosos.
Laurel algunas veces es algo desesperante pero de cierta manera logras entenderla y eso hace que la ames, tiene algo muy especial.
Por otro lado, los personajes secundarios son igual de maravillosos que el libro. Hannah y Natalie fueron de los personajes que más amé durante la lectura pero, todos o al menos en su gran mayoría son grandes personajes muy bien realizados.
Ava logra que te conectes de lleno con los personajes no solo con los principales.
La novela te hace reflexionar sobre muchísimas cosas, amor, familia, amigos y aún más cosas que se descubren mientras avanzamos con la lectura.
Definitivamente leeré todo lo que la autora escriba.
De veras, lo recomiendo bastante. Y, gracias Monse por prestarme este maravilloso libro que se ha convertido en uno de mis favoritos.

Normally I don't do reviews of books, and maybe I should start... So I decided to review this particular book. I noticed a lot of reviews before from Goodreads and Amazon where people have really tried to bury this book as rubbish... I have to say as a personal opinion I disagree. I really did enjoy reading this book because it does present a real scenario of what a girl who has just lost someone, has to deal with growing up without the only true person she looked up to. She is between homes, has been placed in a new school with no friends and has to deal with this horrible death all at the same time. Yes it is a very depressing book, but it does give you perspective that not everything in life has a happy ending or things will not always go your way. I do agree that the author was trying to sound like a young girl, that she kind of did it too young for who was writing the letters, if that makes sense. This book is meant to be read my young adults and sometimes we as adults when we read these forget that. There are things in this book that I could completely relate too (even though I am an adult) or could relate to if I was a young adult. I gave it 4 stars because of what I had mentioned before of the author trying to sound too young, but other than that I really enjoyed this book. I would truly recommend it.
So much sadness, but still ended with an uplifting feeling.
I loved the way the story unfolded. I kept wanting to know more about what happened to her sister, and each time I just HAD to know - I got another piece.
The language was beautiful, I kept stopping to savor the words.

I would have thought more of this if it didn't feel just like The Perks of Being A Wallflower. Otherwise it was a nice read.

I like bittersweet stories--the kind where you hope the main character learns something about her loss. It was cleverly done, writing to famous dead people, and kept me engaged the entire time because of character development, a little bit of love, and clean, smooth writing.
I thoroughly enjoyed reading this from the start. It introduces so many great plot points that make you wonder, and very early on too. This is an element in stories that personally keeps me interested as a reader. And I felt like the ideas and storylines were wrapped up very nicely, but not in any cliche way. It deals with important topics, especially grief and forgiveness of ourselves and others.
This book is absolutely faboulus and I am so happy Sky wasn't what I expected him to be. The way Ava Dellaira writes is just really, really good and her characters seem almost real. I want to meet Sky's mother and listen to her, singing to her flowers.
I don't think I have ever cried as much as I did for this book than any other book. I felt a connection to this story and I feel like it has helped me a lot. It makes me want to be brave and helped me try to deal with things in my life right now. And what seems like the first time, I felt like I was heard without saying anything, that I was answered. This book answered some questions I had. But this is review is based of my personal experience....
Now I would recommend it, if you loved The Perks Of Being A Wallflower, than you will love this. Its beautiful, and well written. You go through a journey of struggle that many of us go through when we are young. Trying to be brave and grow up. To try to be brave enough to go through all what life brings you...this has really helped me, I felt connected and not alone. It is one of those books that I will always keep in my heart. A journey I will remember and use to help me in my journey with life.
