Mirror mirror

Videorecensione: https://youtu.be/2KTu5ezVuDc Letto per curiosità, non per forza aspettandomi un libro trash. Infatti è semplicemente un romanzo goffo, raffazzonato, con enormi voragini di trama. Ero incuriosito perché Cara Delevigne è una sorta di icona giovanile anti-Ferragni (una sorta di Kate Moss Leggi tutto

It was not the blurb, which I only had skimmed, that convinced me to read this book. It was the curiosity of how Cara Delevingne would write her first novel, because she always gets sharp criticism for everything she does besides working as a model and I wanted to form my own opinion on the book. I

5 Words: Friendship, family, mystery, betrayal, secrets. Mirror, Mirror exceeded my expectations. Starting off, I love the writing style. I was a little surprised to find it narrated by Red at the beginning, hers was not the voice I was expecting. But hers is definitely the voice that the story deser Leggi tutto

This is the sort of book that makes me wonder why things like this ever get published in the first place. Don’t get me wrong, it’s not incredibly terrible, but it’s clearly inspired by her work with John Green and the movie adaptation of Paper Towns . A couple of close knit teenagers living their lif Leggi tutto

This is such a hard book to review, because if the characters had been better and not the 'beautifully broken' kind, I would have enjoyed reading this book. But I just didn't connect with the characters, and so reading Mirror, Mirror dragged up until the last 20%. So basically, there's this school b Leggi tutto

So first off, this is basically a poor man's Paper Towns. Cara was clearly inspired after starring in the film. Secondly, the idea is aesthetically pleasing, but when actually presented has little substance.

I tried so hard to finish this, but after 6 month of picking it up and putting it back down I just couldn't. This makes me sad because I think Cara is an incredibly interesting person and a great role model... but for me to not care or be at all curious about the outcome of a mystery is a big deal ( Leggi tutto

Hey, mě se to vážně líbilo! V rámci YA tam bylo dost napětí, mělo to spád, žádné dlouhé srdceryvné dialogy. Postavy mohly být trochu více propracované, ptž jejich charaktery byly zajímavé, jen nešly tolik do hloubky. Přirovnala bych to k Jeden z nás lže, taky z Yoli, ale tohle bylo lepší. Nevím, jest Leggi tutto

I went into this book with very, very low expectations. I mean... who wouldn't be sceptical about a book that has the author's name on it bigger than the actual title. I was afraid this was going to be just another meh book written by just another famous person. Buuuuuttttt.... Mirror, Mirror was act Leggi tutto

Cara Delevingne a încercat să scrie un roman despre/pentru adolescenți. Nu prea i-a reuşit. Dacă ignor un plot twist original, legat de unul dintre personaje, viziunea ei e sumbră şi exagerată: toate personajele sunt abuzate emoțional sau fizic, aproape toți părinţii sunt incompetenți şi nepăsători, Leggi tutto
