YALSA #BFYA2019 nominee. Read review here: http://www.yalsa.ala.org/thehub/2018/09/11/bfya2019-nominees-round-september-11-edition/

A new favorite. “...I’m learning now that world is a circle, & what I thought was ahead of me is actually behind but my eyes are open, & I can see that I’m coming up in it again..”

Bardzo ciekawy oomysl, uważam że Artur musi przepracować śmierć dziadka. Jako osoba która miała styczność z demencją uważam że została ona odwzorowana bardzo dobrze. Chłopak nie miał na początku zrozumienia od nikogo. Gubialm się kiedy pojawiała się jego była dziewczyna czy też najlepszy przyjacirl - mieszałam się wtedy. Ale bardzo fajnie się czytlo . Nie jest to moje pierwsze zetknięcie z literatura Millera, czytałam szkole dla wybranych i tamta isazka jest minimalnie lepsza. 3/5 gwiazdek dobrze będę wspominała

I like to associate color when I read a book and this book gave me this sort of faded gray, old brick building, dry land kinda color. it's not sad, it's all melancholy. Feel something of nostalgia, like when you read an old interesting articles. The plot left lot to be said but the way Samuel Miller wrote his character and how his voice it, you can actually feel the lost, the despair (his joy is not so convincing by the way). I'm in for the character not the story.

The first half of the book was plot driven but the second half was entirely character driven. It felt the end was abrupt and unsatisfying.
