Ho dato cinque stelle a questo libro in maniera molto poco oggettiva ma molto personale. Sono consapevole che la trama è abbastanza semplice, soprattutto considerando che ormai da un po' di anni non sono più il target per questo libro, così come lo stile di scrittura che è molto semplice e scorrevole. Ma avrei tanto voluto avere questo libro quando iniziavo ad avere i miei primi dubbi sulla mia identità, quando non capivo cosa provavo e continuavo a chiedermi cosa ci fosse di sbagliato in me. Questo libro è entrato in contatto con questa mia parte adolescente e sento che l'ha in parte curata. Spesso mi veniva da piangere per il modo in cui la persona protagonista, Ben, si descriveva o come esprimeva le sue sensazioni e i suoi dubbi perché era proprio come se mi stesse leggendo troppo. 
Queste 5 stelle non sono tanto per una trama piena di colpi di scena o per uno stile di scrittura ricercato, ma per tutto quello che questo libro mi ha scatenato e mi ha trasmesso. Come Mason Deaver stess* alla fine, questo è il libro di cui avrei avuto bisogno durante gli anni delle scuole superiori. All'epoca ancora non esisteva, ma sono felice che prima o poi sia arrivato.

I wish there was more development with the side characters but that's to be expected when the main character is a heavy focus in the book. That being said I really wished I had this book when I was younger. I'm so glad that it is here for people to read and fall in love with.

Throughout the book they talk about how Ben has little or no appetite. I wish there was more focus on that instead of it being brushed aside.
