Overall, it was a fun summer read that delved into some really difficult topics in a way that was (mostly) enjoyable.

The In Between by Marc Klein | Waterstones

Comencé creyendo que el libro iba a destrozarme y acabé suplicando que acabara pronto para dejar de aburrirme. Creo que al saber desde el inicio como acaba la narración de los capítulos del pasado hace que no quieras soltarlo para saber cómo ocurrió ese accidente. Klein brilliantly uses dual timelines to explore both storylines (before and after) about how our deceased loved ones reach out to us via ADCs (after-death communications). it’s that bad things happen that no one can stop: divorce, illness, lost friendship, family heartbreak, and these awful, awful catastrophes. Desde mi punto de vista, una vez vista la escena inicial y sabiendo que Skylar estaba muerto, lo ideal hubiera sido ver cronológicamente toda su relación con Tessa.

Puede que yo sea fría o muy dura, pero no puedo conectar con el dolor de un personaje si no conozco su vínculo real con otros. One day, Tessa lands in an old movie theatre to watch a film that is in French (one she does not speak). I also loved that although there is definitely a magical element to this story, it took place in the real world.

The "before chapters" occur before the accident that kills Skylar and showcases Tessa and Skylar's summer romance. En cambio Mel y Vickie me gustaron mucho, aunque son sus padres adoptivos verdaderamente se preocupan y quieren a Tessa, fue bonito ver como evoluciona su relación a lo largo del libro. Soon they are completely engaged in unravelling the mystery and committed to keeping yet another unexplained accident from occurring. It's also a sensitive and powerful exploration of grief that comes from more personal tragedies like grief and loss.

At the forefront of changing attitudes around palliative care is hospice nurse Hadley Vlahos, who shows that end-of-life care can teach us just as much about how to live as it does about how we die. Una storia d’amore Paranormal, con salti temporali e flashback che non seguono alcun ordine preciso ma che aiutano il lettore a meglio comprendere le dinamiche fuori dall'ordinario che avvengono tra i protagonisti. Shannon sneaks her out, with Skylar's help (he manipulates some electronics, distracting the nurses), who then guides them to the site of the accident.
