La novela más personal y tierna de Patrick Ness, el aclamado autor de Un monstruo viene a verme.
Este es el día más difícil en la vida de Adam Thorn. Su exnovio, al que todavía quiere, se va para no volver. La relación con su actual pareja, al que también quiere, peligra gravemente.
Su hermano ha dejado a una chica embarazada, sus padres se niegan a aceptar su homosexualidad y, en el trabajo, sufre acoso laboral.
Además, un fantasma ha despertado de las profundidades del lago y avanza hacia el pueblo...
ENGLISH DESCRIPTION
Inspired by Judy Blume's Forever and Virginia Woolf's Mrs. Dalloway, this novel that Andrew Smith calls "beautiful, enchanting, [and] exquisitely written" is a new classic about teenage relationships, self-acceptance—and what happens when the walls we build start coming down.
Adam Thorn doesn't know it yet, but today will change his life.
Between his religious family, a deeply unpleasant ultimatum from his boss, and his own unrequited love for his sort-of ex, Enzo, it seems as though Adam's life is falling apart. At least he has two people to keep him sane: his new boyfriend (he does love Linus, doesn't he?) and his best friend, Angela.
But all day long, old memories and new heartaches come crashing together, throwing Adam's life into chaos. The bindings of his world are coming untied one by one; yet in spite of everything he has to let go, he may also find freedom in the release.
From the New York Times bestselling author of A Monster Calls comes a raw, darkly funny, and deeply affecting story about the courage it takes to live your truth.
