Loved it! Having heard her speak at Babel about her family I saw so much if her in the character of Nini the grandmother, and the descriptions of Berkeley held true to my memories there as well. Harrowing description of a teenagers descent I to addiction was very balanced with the flashback style of knowing she comes through ok. What a good story teller - each piece she writes belongs in the story, all coming together. And such great and heart and love seeps out from each of the characters. Even the villains show a little soul.
El libro narra la vida de la adolescente Maya Vidal, donde nos cuenta las malas decisiones que ha tomado en su corta vida junto con la serie de desagradables situaciones que ha vivido como consecuencia de dichas decisiones.Trata de superación, de como aceptarse a uno mismo aceptando los errores cometidos en el pasado y mirando hacia delante. Es un libro fácil de leer, pero lamentablemente no me ha aportado nada nuevo, no ha conseguido sorprenderme. Seguía leyendo por inercia, sólo por saber como terminaba.
I really enjoyed this book about a teen from Berkley who ends up in Chili- so interesting ...
Nice style of writing, but the action was kind of predictable...
Quero ir a Chiloé.
