Lo amé mucho. Me siento un poco abrumada y por eso me cuesta poner en palabras lo que significó este libro e historia para mi. La verdad es que lo empecé con 0 expectativas y me llevé tremenda sorpresa. Es una historia sobre el crecimiento de uno, la adolescencia, la familia, el amor… Ahora bien, no creo que sea un libro para cualquiera. Quizás consideren el ritmo del libro como lento, y eso les moleste. Pero a mi me pareció perfecto y todo tenia un motivo. 
También siento que la forma de escribir de la autora es lo que hizo que el libro fuera 100 veces mejor. 
 
Soy fan de compartir mis citas favoritas. Así que acá va: 

 “I really wondered why people were always doing what they didn't like doing. It seemed like life was a sort of narrowing tunnel. Right when you were born, the tunnel was huge. You could be anything. Then, like, the absolute second after you were born, the tunnel narrowed down to about half that size. You were a boy, and already it was certain you wouldn't be a mother and it was likely you wouldn't become a manicurist or a kindergarten teacher. Then you started to grow up and everything you did closed the tunnel in some more. You broke your arm climbing a tree and you ruled out being a baseball pitcher. You failed every math test you ever took and you canceled any hope of being a scientist. Like that. On and on through the years until you were stuck. You'd become a baker or a librarian or a bartender. Or an accountant. And there you were. I figured that on the day you died, the tunnel would be so narrow, you'd have squeezed yourself in with so many choices, that you just got squashed.”
