Ținutul țânțarilor

This wasn’t flawless but if this story taught me anything is that things aren’t supposed to be. I was bothered by the rushed peace at the begging and some of the stops on the road that made me less interested in the trip itself which was my mindset going into it.
However, the cast of characters balanced this. This complex struggle of the protagonist at the things she was suffering from that I personally don’t come upon often in books. Walt was so awesome and lovely and I may have shed one tear at the end when I read that note. Beck was the character I couldn’t get very attached to but I saw him through Mim’s perspective and I was curious to discover more about him and make him more present. (Well this didn’t happen but nevermind).
The quotes from this book tho. Mim was a pretty relatable character that could express herself, feelings and all so beautifully and I couldn’t get enough of some pages that I had to read e few times just to enjoy their truth. And the side of the story that highlights my thoughts when I get into a book that no villain is all bad and not hero is flawless.
Moreover, the letters-diary element may be one of my guilty pleasures in books and it gave more depth to the character and its background.
This may be the last but no so insignificant reason why there were more pros: all the medical references. I loved that.
I definitely would have added some more elements for the road trip, make her dad more present because we donMt really interact with him and I think he plays indirectly a great role in the story and for the end maybe more atmospheric details because yes most of the time things in this book ended sharply but somehow I enjoyed this unexpectedly.
I recommend this, not my favorite book, but a story that we all need sometimes and it came as a breath of fresh air from YA fantasy distopians I’ve read recently. It a story about mental health, finding your place (a true “home”), giving a chance, making friends and accepting your flaws and that sometimes you are not ok. And that’s ok.
