“What did a kiss feel like anyway? Somehow I Knew it wouldn’t be like the one I got from mom and dad at bedtime. The same species maybe, but radically different beast, to be sure”
“One´s character is set at an early age, son. The choices you make now will affect you for the rest of your life”
“Black skirt, black nails, black eyes- for a nocturnal rodent, yeah, I suppose she was looking good”
The first time I read this book I wasn’t into it, I think I was too young to understand what this book was trying to portray but now that I re read it I understand the message. This book is the perfect definition of how a story can have two points of view completely different and how we are oblivious of other people´s perspectives.
This was a fun short book that perfectly describes what it´s like to fall in love at a young age. I truly enjoyed it, there were parts were I actually laugh out loud and the baker family is pure goals. However, it think it was a bit superficial, I would have love to see the relationship grow and how the things would have changed have the characters been in high school.
Altogether, this book is a fun, short, non-repetitive read that moves along great but in my opinion lacks depth and detail.
