Carinissimo. L’ho divorato. Sicuramente mi è piaciuta più la prima parte della seconda, quella in cui erano ancora bambini. Poi è stato molto interessante il topic famiglia rom.
Non so perché ma mi aspettavo un finale struggente. Sono sorpresa. happy ending? Wow.

This is such a gorgeous story. Charlie and Stan are two excellent co-protagonists and their story is in turns funny, devastating and rapturous. The only critique I had is that the final moment is so hard fought. I’d have loved to have seen a little bit of a win in the middle. It was also a fascinating insight into the traveller community with Charlie’s family. I’d give this book a read if you want something heartwarming with some peril and frustrating character choices that come good in the end.

Very much an okay book… it was a nice read and the sentiment behind the story was good I guess but it just didn’t grab me. I thought some of it was overly cheesy but it was an easy read and would likely give to a friend (Zoë??) for a book to read in a couple of days… even though it took me like three weeks
