Product Information

La evolución que sufre el personaje de Sam es increíble, entendible y detallada. En un entorno realista, sin estereotipos y con una trama romántica que parece algo típica pero que se va convirtiendo en una simple excusa para la evolución del personaje principal. Todos los elementos de la novela juegan un papel importante, y creo que es como debería ser: que todo confluya en el protagonista, de algún modo u otro. I loved this book, I mean epically loved it. I related so much to Samantha and you don’t have to be OCD to understand her. I think that just about everyone can relate to how Sam felt. Most everyone struggles with belonging and fear of judgment at some point in their lives. I love the lessons Sam learned and how she grew throughout the story.

Mistakes. Trial and error. Same thing. Mistakes are how we learned to walk and run and that hot things burn when you touch them. You’ve made mistakes all your life and you’re going to keep making them.” I’ve wanted to kiss you for weeks, long before that day at my house, and right now I really want to kiss you again.” This tender novel shows how powerful and helpful the brain can be under stress without being clinical or detached. This book is highly recommended. ” – VOYA Magazine Lo que más me ha gustado de la novela, sin duda alguna, es la protagonista, Sam. Samantha está muy bien construida, es un personaje redondo, que cuenta con varios pilares que la sostienen. Por un lado su transtorno obsesivo compulsivo que se refleja muy bien en la novela, ya que no es Sam la que nos cuenta cómo se vive ese transtorno sino que se nos muestra en su día a día. Por otro lado su relación con Caroline que va floreciendo poco a poco a lo largo de la obra. Sam es un personaje que nos sorprende y tiene ciertas actitudes que lxs lectorxs no esperan de ella. Y además tiene una evolución constante, empieza siendo de una manera y acaba siendo totalmente diferente. Es una evolución natural, a la que nos adaptamos conforme ella misma se adapta.

Customer reviews

I kind of want to photocopy several chapters of the book. They’re incredibly triggering to my OCD, but they remind me that I’m not alone in this. I want to be reminded of why recovery is so important. I don’t want to think about the two of them, arms and legs intertwined under his blue comforter, but I still can’t fall asleep because I can’t get the image out of my head. INTERVIEW | School Library Journal | #MHYALit: Author Tamara Ireland Stone Interviews a Teen Called C about OCD

La novela está muy en la línea de la autora, su estilo me gusta muchísimo y la manera en la que construye a sus personajes es siempre la misma. Además tiene muy buenas descripciones y mucha calidad literaria. This is a story about a girl with OCD. A girl who, for all intents and purposes, hasn't told anyone about her condition. The dark thoughts that plague her mind daily make it difficult to function in every day activities that others take for granted. She struggles to maintain the facade of being a 'normal' girl around her popular friends who expect only the best from her, and she can't find peace at night, so she has to take sleeping medications. Her nature is to latch onto something and grip it tight, to search and investigate until all outlets are exhausted and she has enough information to satisfy her hunger for any information concerning what she became obsessed with in the first place.Discuss the role of Caroline in the story.
