I had to read this for school and I think it is safe to say that otherwise, I would've never even heard of and definitely never read this book.

Reading this was very frustrating to me because the book deals with a topic that is important and should be talked about and I agreed with that but I really didn't like the way it was done.
I disliked both main characters and I was pretty annoyed by the whole letter-thing.

It was an okay read but I probably wouldn't have finished it if it hadn't been for school.

at first it felt a bit like an educational book or something and then it's was just slow and nothing was really happening, it had a nice ending though. I'm pretty sure I'll forget about reading this book

I started a 'dear nobody' diary (not that I was expecting! Just a very nice way to do a diary)

I always like when I read a book and I can really feel emotional for the characters. This book wasn't a "can't put it down" type book, but it was an interesting read. I also like that is feels really timeless, even if opinions change and people grow more excepting of situations, it does stand up. I think I'm probably not the target audience but I would have loved it as a teenager.

incredibly boring and just lacked substance. i couldnt attach myself to the characters, and it felt like a chore just to pick up and read

J'ai aimé les 2 points de vue, celui de Chris plus banal superposé à sa lecture des lettres écrite par Hellen pour son cher inconnu. Un petit livre qui se lit vite et que j'ai trouvé assez touchant, surtout les lettres. J'avais l'impression que Chris ne pensait pas au bébé et qu'il n'avait pas l'air de se rendre compte de comment il agissait, mais il le dit lui même à la fin, donc ça m'a réconcilliée avec lui, surtout que ne pas être prêt pour se genre d'expérience est assez réaliste en y pensant, Hellen avait raison.
