I rated the book 3/5, but I still enjoyed reading it. This doesn’t mean the book was bad. It's a sweet novel that explores friendship, trauma and trust in a lovely way. I particularly love the found family trope, so this book still resonated with me. I rated it 3 simply because I was expecting something much better. I had heard incredible reviews and anticipated a favorite, which didn't happen. I found the writing a bit shaky, and the genre leaning toward young adult, which isn't quite my preference anymore. However, it remains a good book that I would have likely rated 5/5 when I was a bit younger.

Bon, on va pas se mentir : le début a été compliqué pour moi. Je n'arrivais pas à m'attacher aux personnages, et j'avais énormément de mal avec le rythme du récit. Mais je me suis accroché, et à partir de la deuxième parti ça a été mieux.
Ce n'est pas une histoire facile à lire. C'est même très douloureux. Ça reste malgré tout un très beau roman. Les autrices traitent avec beaucoup de justesse les traumatismes de jeunesse et le deuil, avec énormément d'espoir et un très beau message sur la reconstruction et l'amitié.

Maintenant je suis hyper curieux·se de lire le roman sur Nate, mais je pense que j'attendrai un peu.
