The moment I opened this book I couldn't close it anymore. This is a fast-pased story with short chapters (max. 6-7p.). The ending made me cry. And just like the author wrote in the beginning and at the end of the book, I don't know if I was crying because this story was tragic or because it was happy. I don't even know if this story was happy or tragic at all. Maybe it was both of those and a lot more. This is a study about communication, growing up, emotions and the lack of them, and about relationships. relationships that are subtile, but very powerful.
