This is how it always is - L. Frankel
A strong message, a very brave family and child. Extremely interesting, it loses its charm a bit in the last part in my view.

Ho amato tanti libri di Bianchini, ma questo, insieme a Io che amo solo te, non mi e' piaciuto.

The darkest day - H. Nesser
I couldn't get into the story at all. Abandoned!
