So end of summer last year, I soft DNF'ed this book because I was in a reading slump and just wasn't in the mood to read it. However, I have heard nothing but good things and was determined to pick it back up, so this year I did. And I am sooooo glad I did because wow, what a beautiful story! Both Jannie and Gus felt so three-dimensional and real, they could have been my very own best friends. I loved both of their stories of personal growth and how they lit each other up. We as humans are complexed and this was a perfect way to showcase that. This absolutely became one of my favorite books I've read this year.

J'ai beaucoup aimé cet ouvrage. Je m'attendais à ce que la traduction ne me plaise pas, mais finalement, elle était très bien. J'avoue que la voix du personnage principal masculin m'a tout de même fait cringe au début. Sinon, à part ça, la narratrice a fait un superbe job. L'auteure est excellente, comme toujours. Je suis fan d'elle et surtout de sa plume (j'ai lu en anglais et écouté en français). J'ai passé un très bon moment et je me sens d'attaque pour lire un autre livre.
