I love the summer vibes, I love the language but this is such a slooow burn... and then the ending feels almost rushed.

4,5.
Μερικές φορές παίρνεις στην τύχη ένα βιβλίο μέσα απ'την στοίβα των αδιαβαστων, ένα από εκείνα που κινδυνεύουν να μη διαβαστούν ποτέ γιατί μετά απ'αυτό πήρες ένα σωρό ακόμα που σε περιμένουν.
Κάπως έτσι έγινε και μ' αυτό εδώ. Και χωρίς να το καταλάβω βυθίστηκα στον ήρεμο ρυθμο του Χαρτλει, στην φαινομενικά απλή ιστορία του που για κάποιον λόγο τις ώρες που δεν το διάβαζα περίμενα να επιστρέψω για να συνεχίσω.
Ταξικές διαφορές, παιδική αφέλεια, εφηβικά σκιρτήματα, αθωότητα και πλεκτάνες. Σου θυμίζει πως σαν παιδί όλα μέσα σου γιγαντώνονται,πως μετράνε αλλιώς, πως ενθουσιάζεσαι χωρίς σπουδαίο λόγο και πως απογοητευεσαι χωρίς σπουδαίο λόγο.
