WARNING: This review is going to be all over the place. I just find it very difficult to review books that I loved.

There are cases in which you want to read a book for the beautiful cover, others because of the author and others because the plot is intriguing. In this case, for me, it`s the title. I don`t know why precisely, it just gave me this feeling of sadness and loneliness, and I was very excited to read it, even those books that romanticise this kind of things BUT I am so happy to tell you that I was so, so, so wrong for once. I`m not going to go into details because I don`t want to spoil anything but OMG this book is a real pearl. 

TRUTH OR DARE | Non Pratt

◮ " 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"  ◭

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.
