Querido Nadie es una novela que lidia con el espinoso tema del embarazo adolescente y lo hace de una forma maravillosa. A través de las cartas que Helen le escribe a Nadie (su futuro hijo) así como de los recuerdos de Chris de esa época podemos conocer los dos puntos de vista de los protagonista de la historia y ver su evolución. Pero no sólo tenemos a los adolescentes, tal vez lo más valioso de esta obra sea que dedica mucho tiempo a presentarnos a los padres de ambos jóvenes y a que veamos como lo sucedido también les afecta a ellos.
Esta variedad de personajes es fundamental para que puedan disfrutar del libros personas de todas las edades. Cuando leí este libro con 15 años, me identifiqué muchísimo con Helen y Chris y apenas recordaba que hubiera mucho más en la historia. Sin embargo, ahora con 25 me pareció mucho más importante y realista las reacciones de los padres y cómo estos lidiaban con el problema.
Pero posiblemente lo que más me gustó es el final. Al principio parece un poco difícil de entender y obviamente decepciona porque no es el final feliz al que estamos acostumbrados, pero me parece un grana cierto. El final es realista y muy coherente con el resto de la historia. Una lectura muy recomendable para todo el mundo.

a very good book but it made me so sad. It's such a tough topic to write about, but I think the author did a good job. I would like to hope that I would handle this situation better than these parents.....but you just never know (as an adult, as a child) how you would handle this.

I had to read this book for school and it was surprisingly good and also deep. The main topic teen pregnancy was written realistic and I could understand why the characters did what they did. The letters to 'Nobody' were my favoritet thing about his book, you could really see how Helen changed. Not only how she thought about the baby but overall. I really enjoyed this book!

While reading this book, I felt that the story was outdated, even the subject is still present. I was forcing myself to read this book, but in the end, it was okay.

I absolutely love this book and at the end when you find out why the book is laid out the way it is OMG it's so beautifully written! One of my favourite books by far! - this was my review in 2013 when I was 15
My review 2018- I am now using this book for a project at drama school and after re-reading it (now being 20) it wasn't as amazing as when I first read it but I did still love it and learnt some lessons from the book, still loved it a lot though!

This book follows the perspectives of both Chris and Helen through their late teenage years dealing with an unplanned pregnancy. I love the structure of the book, how it starts in October with Chris receiving Helen's letters, all titled 'Dear Nobody' and then goes back to January where the letters begin, following the memories of Chris accompanied by the written thoughts of Helen, month by month until returning to present day.
I thoroughly enjoyed the artistic choice presented in the structure of this book, and feel the story explored well the topic of an unplanned pregnancy from a teenage couple, with the intersection of feelings, actions and knowledge from parents, friends and family along the way. It was certainly worth the read, however I'm not sure if it was writing style, ideologies explored or just me as the reader, but I didn't feel myself particularly warming to either Helen or Chris, so didn't feel any significant emotional attachment to wanting their futures to work out or supporting their relationship.
I found some scenes difficult to read, but this made the story more true to the harsh reality of the subject topic, which I did appreciate. So overall, a very well explored concept and story, but for whatever reason I wasn't particularly gripped by the characters themselves.
