Absolut verdienter Hype
Bewertet mit 4.5 Sternen
This was a title on my "have to have to have to read" list and I couldn't have been happier the get approved here on Netgalley. Simon vs the Homo sapiens was a huge succes in my small english store and I was overjoyed to announce a new book by Albertalli to my customers. Being overweight my whole life, the subject of staying on the sideline of your own life is well known to me. Better safe than sorry. Who would want someone liek me when my true self is hidden under all the fat? This thoughts are the reason why books like "The upside of unrequited" are so so important. There is no other person inside of you, you are you and people gonna love you if you let them. While Albertalli takles some nice thoughts and shows how you can be liked if you only be yourself and open, I felt it sometimes stilted. Especially that hipster situation. Why have him flirting with her? There were some things that I found unnecessary. I also waited on Mina to actually reveal that she is love with Molly not Cassie. So many clues were giving to it. She was flirting with Molly when they met, she always complemented her and on top, the most popular girl at a party and known bestie of Mina asked Molly "Oh so you re the new girlfriend!!" and Cassie has to correct her. Why would she assume the fat girl was the girlfriend if not for knowing Minas taste? So yeah, i waited on that to be the huge drama at the end, but no, haha. Nontherless a very important book that I cannot wait to sell my customers. Thanky ou so much for approving and letting me have a great time!
