This book made me feel a lot. The reveal hurt so bad. spent a bit of the book wondering why the main character was so cagey, but it all made sense in the end. The author really captured that feeling when the words/feelings coming out of your mouth don't necessarily match your feelings inside and it was cathartic to read to some extent.

En ole koskaan lukenut niin synkkää ja tunteellista nuorten kirjaa surusta ja menetyksestä kuin Välimatkoja on. Menetyksen ja surun lisäksi kirjassa käsitellään esimerkiksi yksinäisyyttä ja valheita. Kirja on monitasoinen.

Kuitenkin kirjassa on nuorten kirjoille tyypillistä toiveikkuutta, joka kyllä ilahduttaa aikuistakin!
