ES:

Me ha gustado pero he tenido problemas con la representación de enfermedades en el libro. Apenas hay consecuencias con seguir o dejar tratamientos. Si yo no fuera una persona discapacitada, cuyo cuerpo acusa los cambios de rutina, seguramente me hubiera gustado más. Dudando entre las 2 y las 3 estrellas así que se queda así.

EN:

I liked this book. However, as a disabled person (although I did not have the condition described in the book), I had issues with some of the medical aspects of the book. As a person who has Cerebral Palsy changes in my daily life routine is something that my body notices. How come, the main characters´ decisions about treatment aren't physically visible?

I problably would have love this more if I did not have a disability.

Eternally between 2 and 3 stars.

Second time reading it and it still hurt despite the fact i knew how it was going to play out. It’s an amazing book and it gives you insight as to how it is to live with a disease, even if it’s not completely accurate. The love mcs have for eachother and their growth is just amazing.

 This was about what I expected it to be. I didn't hate it, but it's just also not the greatest book I've ever read. It was really interesting learning about CF, which I'm not sure if it's 100% accurate. The concept of the story was nice, but the story itself was just really slow and I found myself dozing off.
