V zásadě mě bavilo to číst, je to jediný důvod, proč dvě hvězdičky místo jedné.
Celý příběh mi přijde neuvěřitelně umělý, vykonstruovaný, neupřímný. A taky zatraceně předvídatelný, v podstatě jsem od začátku věděla, jak to skončí. Jako by všechny snahy o složitější, uvěřitelnější psychologii postav zmizely, aby daly prostor hře na city. Je to citová vykrádačka. Jenže s tím, že mi hlavní hrdina přišel nesnesitelný a jeho obrovské lásce jsem nevěřila ani nos mezi očima, že mě ani jedna z dalších postav nezaujala.
Mrzí mě to, vážně jsem se těšila.

No esperaba que me gustase tanto. Leo me fascinó como protagonista, me encantó estar en su cabeza, su flujo de pensamientos era demasiado refrescante. Prácticamente se pasaban las páginas solas.

Jestli existuje kniha, která donutí lidi věřit v pravou lásku, je to tahle.

Fakt pěkné.

Libro scorrevole, anche se il trama non mi ha sorpreso. Alla fine ci sono almeno decina di frasi segnate.

I'm going to start out this review by saying this book was not for me. I realized that fairly quickly into it, but because I did originally get this as an e-arc from netgalley I wanted to push through so I could review it. 

White as Silence, Red as Song is one of those books that was a part of Siclit when it came out. I've read several other books in that category, but none have annoyed me as much as this book did. Maybe it's because this book was originally written in Italian and something was lost in translation. Still, none of the characters acted the age of teenagers, nor did they talk like teenagers even 2018 teenagers they did not act like. Which has me thinking that it is maybe because it was for the Italian audience and then later on got translated to English. 

At times this book did remind me of Me, Earl, and the Dying Girl, but it was not up to that level of quality or heartfeltness that that book was. Instead, this book is solely about Leo and how his obsession with the girl Beatrice causes him to grow up suddenly because he wants to love her and convince her that he is the perfect one for her. That just made the book not work for me personally. I just couldn't get behind that premise.

I do think others will enjoy it especially if they enjoy other books in the Siclit category.

La scrittura semplice, senza fronzoli, rende il romanzo molto scorrevole alla lettura.
Il libro racconta la storia di Leo, uno studente di 16 anni, che di innamora di una sua compagna di classe: Beatrice. 
 Una storia d'amore, un amore forte quanto una malattia. 
Il finale commovente ed emozionante, che fa riflettere sulla vita in generale.
