4.5
les personnages sont divers, j'ai eu tantôt envie de leur offrir des câlins, tantôt envie de leur éclater la tête tellement ils étaient insupportables.
l'écriture est aussi très belle, et le fait que chaque personnage ait son style d'écriture propre était vraiment chouette !
puis les sujets abordés sont intemporels et voir une histoire avec ces sujets là qui est parue en 2014, c'est encore mieux.
