Eu tinha uma noção de qual final estaria me esperando, mesmo assim foi uma mini decepção. Como terminar um livro assim? 

Por motivos pessoais, não foi tão bom ter lido esse livro, num sentido de que me deixou um sentimento de vazio. Infelizmente eu sou muito parecida com a mãe da protagonista, a rinite me acompanha desde a adolescência. Foi uma ótima representação, principalmente pelo ponto de vista ser pelos olhos de uma criança, mas não é uma das melhores situações para estar. 

Dito isso, o livro é incrível, adoro uma leitura direta mas rasa. As nuances estão ali e as interpretações são importantes até pelo POV ser um narrador não confiável, mas num formato de linguagem concisa.

This book was poignant and emotional. So many moments I had to pause to take in what I was reading. You rarely get a book from a child's perspective, especially with so many dark themes. Claudia witnesses so much without truly comprehending what is going on but she feels it all. As adults I think we take for granted that a child can take in the negative energy without understanding in full what is happening around them. I wanted more at the end...I wanted to know if she was going to be ok...unfortunately this book ends too abruptly for me. Maybe it was meant to leave us hanging but I wish there was more.
