◮ " Do not judge people on the things they cannot choose for themself", Mum sais, as much of her attention on Amir as on me. "A person cannot choose pretty. They cannot choose the colour of their skin or the fact that they need glasses." "They could wear contacts." I was trying to be clever. "But they cannot choose that they need help to see." She looked at me very seriously then. " Judge people on what they have control over. Judge them on the way they treat their friends, or whether they persevere when they can't do something." "Be careful not to confuse a beautiful face with a beautiful heart" ◭

Trama: A powerful and moving novel about bravery from the Guardian's "writer to watch" Non Pratt, perfect for fans of Rainbow Rowell, John Green and Holly Bourne. How far is too far when it comes to the people you love? Claire Casey hates being the centre of attention. But if it means getting Sef Malik to notice her, it’s a risk she’s happy to take. Sef is prepared to do anything to help his recently disabled brother. But this means putting Claire’s love – and life – on the line. Because when you're willing to risk everything, what is there left to lose?

Ho avuto l'immenso piacere di conoscere l'autrice allo YALC.
Non è una di quelle persone solari e troppo carine e gentilissime. Soprattutto la cosa che mi ha colpito di più è stato il suo famosissimo taglio di capelli allo YALC.
L'autrice si era ripromessa di rasarseli davanti a tutti per beneficenza una volta raggiunta una certa
somma. Epica è stata l'entrata in scena di Benedict Cumberbatch e la sua faccia quando ha visto cosa stava succedendo al piano sopra il London Film & Comic Con.
