Me ha gustado, pero ha faltado esa chispa que tienen algunos libros para meterse para siempre en ti. Me ha sido difícil conectar con la historia aunque no sabría explicar exactamente la razón, pero intuyo que la prosa (a pesar de estar bien escrito y de serme algo original respecto al tipo de prosa que suele haber en estos libros) ha hecho bastante.

The first third of this book or so wasn't drawing me in, but it did pick up and get much more interesting and thought provoking as it went on. A great teenage coming of age story, with a twist. (Read for Central Book Club)

Was a bit slow. The twist made it all worth it.
Like the message. 
Wanna give Aaron a huge hug.
Writing style is simple.

I love all of Adam Silvera's books now that I've read all of them, and it's hard to rank them. But this one here, I think may actually be my favorite. The theme behind the story is so important, and for me, reading it during this time in my life could not have been a better decision. Suffice it to say it's a beautiful story that more people need to read.

Onder de noemer 'genres die ik nog nooit las': gay sci-fi. In één ruk uitgelezen, en hoewel ik niet compleet omver geblazen was van de (slimme) plottwist zoals vele anderen, was ik onder de indruk van hoe Silvera hier perfect weet te vatten hoe 'anders' zijn een onlosmakelijk deel van je identiteit is. Of je dat nu aanvaardt of niet.

Ich liebe, wie das Buch aufgebaut. Außerdem ist dieses Buch einfach so viel mehr als nur irgendein gay Liebskitsch, wie man zunächst vielleicht vermutet.
Aaron fand ich im ersten Teil ein wenig stark Ich-bezogen und dieses: Ich-weiß-du-bist-schwul-getue recht nervig. Aber durch diesen Plottwist und die vielen vermittelten Emotionen im Laufe des Buchs, ist das vorherige Verhalten erklärbar und definitiv eine 5/5.
Zum Glück hat Adam Silvera noch "sowas wie Aarons Happy End" geschrieben.
Alles andere hätte ich sonst nicht verkraftet.
