no estava gens segur de si posar-li 5 o 4’5 stars o el que fos, l’únic que m’ha fet posar-li la puntació ha sigut el fet que aquest llibre m’ha fet sentir coses: patiment, tristesa, por i dolor. like, en mungo pateix infinitament més que jesús en aquest llibre and i think that deserves 5stars

This was a hard and heartbreaking book to read. I resonated a lot with the character of Jodie as an older sister myself and saw my younger brother in the main character Mungo. It took me a lot longer to read than many other books this year. But a heart-wrenching novel. I would call this the more depressing, more poverty-stricken “Call Me by Your Name”.
