I felt her pain while reading. Her mother made me delusional for a second. The hardest part for me was reading about bulimia as a person who had ed... clenched my hands while that part. It's so heartbreaking that all of this shit happened to one person

Cudownie przetłumaczone na polski przez Dorotę Konowrocką-Sawę, piękny kwiecisty język. Pierwszą część książki ciężko się czytało, ale druga była tak wzruszająca...

It's a really good YA but I bet if I read it in original (cause I have the book translated to polish) the whole experience would have been so much better! still loved the narration and chars, it was so easy to get immersed, I cried while reading once

It was creepy at times, I couldn't read it at night because of the anxious feeling. It was so hard to read because of the gaslighting... I felt so bad for Piranesi. The ending was unexpected.

It's a really good classic, but sadly too slow for me. I hated the characters, for real. I'm starting to think that I don't like books with unlikeable characters, but that's on me. It was interesting, but obvious what was going to happen.
