The overall book was okay, but I found belly to be a bit moody. Great for young readers, but can become a bit repetitive.

Fiquei um pouco melancólica com essa história, pelo câncer da Susannah, pela relação da Belly com o pai após o divórcio e pelo fora que o Jeremiah levou, desde o início eu sempre torci pra ele, mas estou com medo de ele ser um babaca nos outros livros, visto que vi uma pequena cena que ele parecia ser um babaca na série da Prime Video. Mas esse é um livro de amadurecimento, de decisões equivocadas, que reflete o sentir enquanto adolescente, a medida que vamos acompanhando o crescimento da Belly. Tomara que a Susannah não morra.
