  My summer girl

  
  "And so it was an unbroken pattern for six years: the wolves' haunting presence in the winter anche their even more haunting absence in the summer. I didn't really think about the timing. I thought they were wolves. Only wolves."

  "And so it was an unbroken pattern for six years: the wolves' haunting presence in the winter anche their even more haunting absence in the summer. I didn't really think about the timing. I thought they were wolves. Only wolves."

  Una bella storia d'amore fra due adolescenti, delicata e fiabesca. Unica nota originale: lui è un licantropo (più o meno, l'universo della Stiefvater ci riserva delle novità) e questo causa, per vari motivi, dei problemi.

  Bella la storia, originale, e molto potente il finale. Scopro ora che è il primo di una trilogia, ma si può leggere anche solo questo, anche se in effetti il finale è un po' sbrigativo.

  Storia per ragazzi, ma comunque ben raccontata. Una ventata di novità nel mondo dei licantropi (per quanto riguarda la trasformazione). A volte forse un filo lento e con personaggi un po' fuori dal mondo (i genitori di Grace, completamente assenti e nemmeno in grado di accorgersi della presenza di u ... (continue)

  Storia per ragazzi, ma comunque ben raccontata. Una ventata di novità nel mondo dei licantropi (per quanto riguarda la trasformazione). A volte forse un filo lento e con personaggi un po' fuori dal mondo (i genitori di Grace, completamente assenti e nemmeno in grado di accorgersi della presenza di un ragazzo nella camera della figlia adolescente; presenza durata giorni e notti), ma nel complesso bella e romantica.

  Overall this book is a sweet book and the concept of the wolves is lovely. I also love the two different perspectives, Sam's and Grace's and the temperatures at the beginning of each chapter as they added some dramatic impact to the story especially when it began to get colder.

  Overall this book is a sweet book and the concept of the wolves is lovely. I also love the two different perspectives, Sam's and Grace's and the temperatures at the beginning of each chapter as they added some dramatic impact to the story especially when it began to get colder.
  Though this book is good, it definitely isn't great and is lacking something in substance, especially with the plot which seems very similar the whole way through.
  I also wanted to see more from two characters the mum( as I thought she brought a good perspective to the story as she appears to see things in a different wag to every one else) and Shelby who I was expecting to play a bigger role in the plot with some evio Victoria from twilight-esque plans.
  Though it has many points I personally dislike I do suggest a read, but only if you like this kind of story.

  I was so disappointed with this book. It went on too long with the same things, and wasn't even super interesting at the beginning either, and the story was muddled and confusing.

  I was so disappointed with this book. It went on too long with the same things, and wasn't even super interesting at the beginning either, and the story was muddled and confusing. It took me a while to get a lot of parts. Although it did have some good deep sentences, I thought it was just a bad werewolf love book. This was upsetting because reviews about this book were "It's not like just any other werewolf book" but it is. Only bad. I wouldn't give this book to anyone.
