I bought this book because of the love that I have for the author, an Italian writer that I have been following on social media since I was a child. I was very intrigued when I found out she was coming out with her own novel, but I wanted to go into the book without knowing anything about it. 
The characters are what I connected with the most, and I felt seen by many of the protagonist’s, Leo, thoughts. In fact, I appreciated the discussions about feeling like you don’t belong anywhere or getting bullied or judged for who you are. 
The plot was very engaging, especially in the last 150 pages, when the story took an unexpected turn that I absolutely adored. Some plot twists were predictable but that didn’t take the enjoyment away from the book. 
Even though this book has been thought to be a standalone, the ending leaves many doors open in case the author ever wanted to continue with Leo’s story, as I suspect. 
Unfortunately, since the author is Italian, there isn’t any English edition about this book, but if any of you are fluent in this language, I really recommend trying this novel out.
