"I never wanted to be a god."

My brain couldn't process the insane amount of information.

Misogynist men who kill, cheat and lie. This is all this book is about. How underwhelming and not surprising at all.

Something I always look for in Latinx authors, specially Mexican authors is how well they can give representation to their country and Christine did it justice!

I don’t usually read autobiographies, but it’s a graphic novel, so I had to read it.

”No one says goodbye unless they want to see you again”

Refreshing, short-but-concise and real. My first ever John Green book read and I’d like to say it was a great choice because now I want to know John’s pen better.

None of the characters are black and white. They have shades of gray that, even with the length of the book, you can see through them with just a little peek.

Aza’s OCD is present at all times and it’s palpable. It is there. It’s not just a trait that isn’t developed just to make someone special, no, it is part of Aza, like any other mental illness.

With the alternative cover (that has the movie characters) I thought it was going to be a queer book and it would’ve been cute that way. Still, not mad at my reading whatsoever. I really needed a relaxing reading that made me have a great time!

”You’re nothing if you can’t do the right thing.”

Not a masterpiece, but rather something entertaining enough to make you forget about how real life can be monotonous.

What I thought was going to happen, happened. All. The. Time. There wasn’t even a little twist that makes you straighten up from your seat and focus on the next words of the page because your mind can’t believe what’s happening. The theme is an excuse to make this book interesting, as it doesn’t really dive into it, which is why I would rather see it as movie than a book. I don’t mind when movies are that shallow.

Obviously, the trope of academic rivals to lovers isn’t for me, but if you’re looking for a chill, teenage, with not a lot of drama romance, this is for you!

”Only the cruelty of a human mind could generate enough ruthless hatred to feed a war of extermination for a thousand years.”

The opening scene reminds me of that time when I told my father we don’t think alike and he said to me “how can we? We’re many years apart.”

Wish I could know more about how the main character feels instead of purely narration.
