It ONLY loses .25 of a star because I feel like some emotion was lost in translation, literally. I wish I could read Brazilian Portuguese so I could read this in its original form! I loved this book. The way Felipe was written, with his thoughts all out there for us to read, and written as if he was just talking to us, while in his room, sitting on the bed, with the lights off… it was so wonderful. And the Mom!!! Felipe’s Mom was so well written. As a mom, I connected with Rita very much. I want to be her when I finish growing up…
