it's been almost a week since i've finished this book, and i still cannot find the words to describe everything it meant to me.

victoria says she's been writing this book forever which is just fine because i've been waiting for it forever too.

"what my uncle said made me think. i had resented america, too. but by reading their books, i saw the other side of them—their humanity. somehow i was sure that if people were willing to read each other, and see the light of other cultures, there would be no war on earth."
a poignant, beautiful, earnest, brutal view on the vietnam war and its effects on the vietnamese.

twelve years later, i reread this book. and it’s just as fun as i remembered.
(some things such as fatphobic comments, comparing black and brown skin colour to food, and lack of diversity are, of course, a sign of when it was written and how much the author has learned with the years. it’s still worth mentioning, though. and i have a bone to pick with the brazilian translation, but i don’t own the books in english, so

a autora aborda vários temas de forma sensível, mas a escrita é amadora, o começo é repleto de clichês, e uma revelação no final não fez sentido nenhum pra mim. as 2 estrelas são simplesmente pelo meio, que foi a melhor parte da história, e por mais histórias com protagonistas gordas.
this has a love triangle, yet i loved it.
it's written in first person, present tense, yet i loved it.
it tackled every YA fantasy trope you can think of, yet i loved it.
that should tell you how solid the writing is, how great the characters are, how fresh and unique the world it.
can't wait for the next one <3
