A portrait of aimless depression in ways I haven't read before. I love Heartstopper, but this was something else. A book I'll return to.

Esta no es una historia de amor, es una historia de una chica perdida en su propia mente, hay mas pensamientos de Tori que diálogos, eso no quiere decir que sea aburrido, todos en algún momentos (en mi caso, la mayoría del tiempo) nos sentimos hundidos en un vacío, donde creemos que no somos nadie, de que no hay un propósito en nuestra vida y nos reducimos a solo existir. Sin embargo Michael Holden era todo lo contrario a Tori, pero ambos se necesitaban, necesitaban ayuda. El final me pareció tal cual lo describe "como el final de una película, la pantalla en negro en el cine". Creo que si no le he dado la calificación máxima es por la increíble crisis de identidad que me provoco.

in the beginning of the book i was interested and then my interest kind of went away and towards the end i was interested again. I do think the ending was a bit predictable not sure if i would reread this book
