Wow! I swallowed this book in a few commutes. Beautifully written and quite close to home for me, having a friend with a similar condition. It felt like a true story with some fabulous embellishments. I laughed out loud right from the belly, and cried on occasions too. Highly recommended, deeply moving.

4.5 stars for me! As ever a great story, well told with such well developed characters. MG has a real human touch with excellent observations on us humans!

I found this book easy to read, the characters likeable and the message powerful. I love how Danny sets out to save and support James but ultimately experiences such personal growth and a healing journey of his own.
Although this story didn't have hidden twists or dramatic intrigue it sucked you in with hope and a desire to 'heal' the characters. Enjoyable but light.

Este livro fala sobre a história de dois ex colegas que frequentaram uma escola de elite e que por casualidades da vida voltam a encontrar-se anos mais tarde em circunstâncias muito diferentes e no mínimo peculiares.
É um romance com uma história muito bonita, que nos toca ao coração e simples, não no sentido de ser uma história fácil, pelo contrário, mas no sentido de que com amor e força de vontade conseguimos tudo o que queremos.
“A verdade é que todos nós fracassamos às vezes, todos fazemos coisas, ou somos afectados por coisas que nos fazem, que nos desviam do nosso percurso, mas temos sempre uma escolha: desistir ou levantarmo-nos do chão.”
Obrigada @dora por me teres sugerido este livro. Fiquei de ❤️ cheio com o James e com o Danny. Ainda não ouvi a tua review mas digo já que este livro dará sem dúvida um filme espectacular!
