Realment, quan vaig comprar aquest llibre, m’esperava trobar-hi molt més. I tot i que no és un mal llibre, vaig sentir-me decepcionada, potser per les expectatives que jo mateixa m’havia fet.
Si sou lectors d’aquest perfil, ja sabreu que tots aquells llibres que toquen la diversitat són una prioritat per a mi, i aquest n’era un.
Vaig començar-lo amb moltes ganes, però a mesura que passava pàgines, m’anava desinflant. I no sabria dir-vos perquè no em va convèncer, però vaig arribar al final totalment decebuda. Tot i això, no és un mal llibre, simplement, jo no hi vaig saber connectar com esperava fer-ho.
Malgrat tot, crec que és un bon llibre per llegir a l’escola i tractar temes com la pèrdua de visió i la diversitat.

This was a light hearted story about a dark topic. The little girl is losing her eye sight but, the ways she tries to compensate for the that is inventive and at time humorous.

The Distance Between Me and the Cherry Tree by Paola Peretti is the story of Mafalda, a girl who is losing her sight and will eventually be blind due to a genetic condition. As Mafalda recognizes what is to come, she reflects on what she is going to lose in the process. She also begins to see how the world around her is changing. With her fate decided, she makes a resolution to move into the cherry tree. This tree brings her happiness, and as she stands to lose so much, she decides to find refuge in a place that she feels comforted and safe. Y'all, this is a middle grade book full of feels. Mafalda's story is emotional. That emotion becomes even more real knowing this is a condition the author also has. Through Mafalda, she is telling the story of what it feels like to lose a sense. Even though there is a lot of sad, there is also a lot of good stuff as Mafalda learns to lean on her family, as well as friends she finds along the way. In all this, she learns who she is able to count on and trust through the process. This is another middle grade book that centers a character with an identity that isn't often seen, and it tells her story with such authenticity. Thanks to NetGalley for the connection with a wonderful, real story out now.

RATING: 5 stars
The Distance Between Me and the Cherry Tree is an absolute gem. I cannot believe that it’s Peretti's debut novel! Everything about this book charmed me, from the unique setting in Italy to the lovely, thought-provoking prose. It makes me think of hot chocolate and fuzzy sweaters and all things cozy. Would definitely recommend!
TW: It’s a very age appropriate read so I don’t think you would have a problem with it. There is an (ADORABLE) romance but it’s so wholesome and pure. A couple girls were hilariously discussing how babies were made; however, it wasn’t dirty in the least bit.
