"This could be something that always be there in the back of my mind, waiting to emerge again and bring all the bad feelings back".
"Some days are fine, but others I wake up and I Just know. I know that day is gonna be awful".

"Porque podés todo, menos curarte. Porque podes todo, menos olvidarte. Porque sos la única que no perdonás: no te perdonás haberlo dejado, no te perdonás ser quien sos, no te perdonás querer ser otra persona. Aunque te rasguñes, aunque te lastimes, aunque te prendas fuego, siempre vas a estar adentro de este cuerpo".
"Por suerte es de día. Todavía falta mucho para la noche".
"Usó lo que necesitaba, lo que deseó, lo que quiso de mí. Y despatarrada quedó el resto, lo que no sirve y está para desechar. La sobra. Mi sobra. Mi cuerpo."
"Y, decime, ¿Qué se siente ser abusada?"

Love the way the story develops since the first series. It's getting into hard topics that will develop in the next book.
It was a good idea to have a lesbian couple in the story, to give more confidence and advice to the protagonists. The same happens with the gym teacher, and adult who is also a lesbian and support the couple. However, the two male teachers that go to Paris are also gays and and Elle is trans. It seems like too much. I think it would have been better for the story to introduce these characters in a different setting, maybe the neighbourhood. I know they are necessary for the plot but it seems like it rests credibility.
Have to read #4 and see.

I had no idea Tupac had written poems, it was a great surprise to find this book. What an artist! The book includes his handwriting poems and some pictures.
My favorite poems: "The rose that grew from concrete" , "Sometimes I cry","Life through my eyes", "What I see!", "Can U C see the pride in the panther?" and "And 2morrow".
