Recenzje

"A moving and rich novel about friendship, loss, kind strangers, the blindness so often present in the pursuit of love, and love itself.  His protagonists have their eyes raised to the sky." Daniel Woodrell for The New York Times Book Review

Vitally redefines friendship as something that must be protected, sacrificed for, and tended to with wisdom, patience, and love and, to our luck, rendered in Zentner s gem-like sentences. Ocean Vuong, New York Times bestselling author of On Earth We re Briefly Gorgeous
 
In a word: sublime. This gift of a book will leave you with fiery, incandescent hope in your chest. Emily Henry, New York Times bestselling author of Beach Read   
 
A novel with the soul of a poem. Jeff Zentner proves yet again that he's one of the most luminous voices writing for young people today.   Randy Ribay, author of National Book Award finalist Patron Saints of Nothing
 
An ode to the healing power of nature and art, but also a testament to the beauty of family both blood and created. No one else can write like Jeff Zentner.   Silas House, New York Times bestselling author of Southernmost and Same Sun Here

With profound, evocative prose and lyrical insights into the world surrounding a struggling main character, Zentner's powerful, emotional novel is one you won't soon forget. Buzzfeed
