Tengo que aceptar que cuando estaba en la librería con dos libro en mis brazos, la única razón por la que elegí este tercero, fue por su portada y con la misma imaginaba otro tipo de historia. Fue una lectura interesante, la hubiera apreciado mucho mas si la hubiera leído hace como cuatro años atrás, aunque en ese tiempo de igual manera era mayor que el personaje, estaba pasando por las mismas experiencias que ella. Al igual que Cath en ocasiones tiendo a cerrarme, me ahogo en libros, series de TV y tiendo a alejarme cuando estoy pasando por alguna situación difícil. Disfruté leerlo y pasar por cada emoción con ella, al igual que al final, sentirme un poco mas fuerte como ella se sintió. Lo que resta es la decisión que aunque todo parezca demasiado, muy difícil e imposible, tienes que levantarte y seguir adelante, para mi eso es lo que la historia te deja y aquí comparto mi pedazo favorito del libro, para mi resumió todo a la perfección. “You wait. You wait until you forget that there’s anything to you beyond stillness and quiet; the hiding is enough. (You win when no one finds you, even if they’re not looking.) When you break from behind the tree is because you want to. It’s the first breath after a long dive. Branches snap under your feet, and the world is hotter and brighter. Ready or not, here I come. Here I come, ready or not.”
I have to accept that when I was at the bookstore, already holding two books in my hands, the only reason I picked this third one was for the cover and with that covered I imagined a different kind of story. It was an interesting read for me, I would have appreciated it much more if I’d read it about four years ago, even though at that time I would’ve still been older than the character, but was experiencing about the same things she was. I sometimes am a little closed off as well as Cath is, I tend to throw myself on books, TV series and close off when I’m going through something difficult. I enjoyed reading it and going through every emotion with her, as well as the ending, feeling a little stronger as she did. All that’s left is the decision that even though it all seems too much, too hard and too impossible you just have to stand up and keep going, to me that’s what the story leaves you with and I’m sharing my favorite excerpt from the whole book with you, to me it summarized everything perfectly. ‘You wait. You wait until you forget that there’s anything to you beyond stillness and quiet; the hiding is enough. (You win when no one finds you, even if they’re not looking.) When you break from behind the tree is because you want to. It’s the first breath after a long dive. Branches snap under your feet, and the world is hotter and brighter. Ready or not, here I come. Here I come, ready or not.’
