Gli mancano certe cose. Certe persone. Sa però che è così che va la vita, e preferisce l’equilibrio, il riposo, poco eccitante e banale, e scopre che è tutto ciò che gli serviva. E burro buono, ovviamente. Un caffè decente. È stato cresciuto da una donna con delle priorità.
Ci sono cose che hanno senso, amici e risate e nutrimento, e altre cose che succedono e basta, perché è quella la vita senza tragedie, guidata dalla routine, più significativa”
Tragico, nostalgico e delicato, dolce ma con un retrogusto amaro che ti brucia lo stomaco.
Ottima scrittura, piacevole, leggera e poetica, delicata come il modo in cui tratta i temi, ma dice molto più di quello che mostra. Comunque incredibile per un debutto.
Personaggi troppo stereotipati per essere al centro di un romanzo del genere che si basa principalmente su di loro e le loro vite. Hanno comunque tante sfumature, ma rimangono bad boy x good girl di cui la letteratura è satura.
È uno di quei libri che apprezzi più quando non stai leggendo. È bello il messaggio e l’intento ma un po’ noioso e inconcludente
