Sally Thorne har en fantastisk förmåga att skapa karaktärer som jag som läsare kan identifiera mig med trots att de skiljer sig vitt från mig. I den här boken får man följa tjejen som gör uppror mot att bli behandlad som sin sjukdom(hjärtsjuk) och möter killen som gör och gjort i stort sett allt för att kunna hålla samma tempo och henne vid liv.
En underhållande och härlig romance med en tuff hjältinna!

Jag gillade verkligen Darcy. Hon är tuff i sitt korta hår och piercing … och Thorne har fått fram hennes komplexitet på ett tilltalande sätt. Jag gillar att vi får lära känna henne på djupet. Tom är väldigt dreamy och det var underbart att följa deras relation. Jag tycker om att Thorne tar god tid på sig att utveckla deras resa tillsammans och att det inte blir pang på som så många andra böcker i romancegenren. 99 procent min är inte lika stark som författarens debut, En allvarsam lek, men boken får ändå en stark 4/5 av mig.
