Io e te oltre le stelle by Beth Revis
3.0

Honestly I don’t know what to say about this book. It’s not bad, but will I read the other two? Probably not. I bought it when I was like 14 and it took me five years to finally decide to finish it. The story per se is pretty cool, and I’ve always loved dystopian/teen novels. But it’s just sooo slow, and then the end is way too fast. I hated the dialogs, I found them unrealistic and forced, even though the rest of the prose is very interesting. There’s this way of reproducing the sounds and the rhythm of the narrative with this unconventional writing style, and I’m not sure if I hated it or loved it. I wouldn’t say it’s a bad book, and maybe the second and the third are better. I don’t think I’ll read them soon, though.
