Questo libro mi è stato regalato in uno scambio di libri via social ma mi ci sono voluti anni prima di approcciarmici. È carino... Di certo l'inizio mi aveva preso più del resto del libro. Forse quello che per me non ha funzionato sono stati i cambi di punto di vista. E la traduzione non mi sembrava fatta particolarmente bene.

4.0

shotgun lovesongs was an interesting but enjoyable read.

i think the aspect of friendship in this book was well written and well established making it easy to get in with the characters 
lee and ronny were really great to read about, seeing how much they cared/loved one another was (at times) heart warming.

in conclusion while i think there were times in this book where i wanted to dnf and the fact that the ending was strange, the friendships and quite easy loving characters made up for it in the end.


soooo thats my review :)
