 I let this one sit a little bit before writing my thoughts:
The initial third did not get me hooked enough - but it did promise a ride. For the rest of the book, I could not put it down. I found the "love" story lacking and not too convincing, and at times it seemed like the author was trying to mash a lot of themes together, so some of them didn't get the chance to stand out properly.

Thank you to Bindery Books for providing me the ARC of this book.

Trebalo mi je vremena da krenem i da se naviknem na stil pisanja. Zahteva paznju i koncentraciju - ne kazem da se ne moze citati usputno, ali propusticete poente na koje se moze naici.
Jako zanimljivo, neocekivano. Ovo je prva Marcelova knjiga koju citam i dopada mi se, jer nisam smatrala da se bavi ovakvim temama. Ipak, na momente mi je pisanje i odredjene metafore preterano.
Svakako preporucujem, doduse, ljudima koji mogu da podnesu i neke teze scene.

Slatko, simpaticno, okej dinamika u porodici, ali malo previse drame.
A i ono, neko posalje njena pisma, privatna pisma, i ona je u fazonu: OMG kako to?, a ni na koji nacin ne istrazuje ko je zapravo pisma mogao da posalje.
Sumnjam da cu citati nastavke.

Htedoh da napisem da je pocetak bio super, ali je knjiga postajala predvidiva ka kraju.
A onda se setim da je knjiga namenjena mladjoj publici :)

Čitala na engleskom, dopao mi se stil pisanja - česte igre reči, ironične opaske naratora. Gubi 0.5 od ocene zbog nerealno srećnog kraja jednog od likova (totalno mi je bilo neočekivano, skoro bajkovito).
