“We were perfect together. Until we met.”

Misha

I can’t help but smile at the words in her letter. She misses me.

In fifth grade, my teacher set us up with pen pals from a different school. Thinking I was a girl, with a name like Misha, the other teacher paired me up with her student, Ryen. My teacher, believing Ryen was a boy like me, agreed.

It didn’t take long for us to figure out the mistake. And in no time at all, we were arguing about everything. The best take-out pizza. Android vs. iPhone. Whether or not Eminem is the greatest rapper ever…

And that was the start. For the next seven years, it was us.

Her letters are always on black paper with silver writing. Sometimes there’s one a week or three in a day, but I need them. She’s the only one who keeps me on track, talks me down, and accepts everything I am.

We only had three rules. No social media, no phone numbers, no pictures. We had a good thing going. Why ruin it?

Until I run across a photo of a girl online. Name’s Ryen, loves Gallo’s pizza, and worships her iPhone. What are the chances?

F*ck it. I need to meet her.

I just don’t expect to hate what I find.

Ryen

He hasn’t written in three months. Something’s wrong. Did he die? Get arrested? Knowing Misha, neither would be a stretch.

Without him around, I’m going crazy. I need to know someone is listening. It’s my own fault. I should’ve gotten his number or picture or something.

He could be gone forever.

Or right under my nose, and I wouldn’t even know it.

Por puro entretenimento

Esse é o livro mais clichê que eu li da Penelope Douglas até agora (eu já tinha lido Credence e Birthday Girl, que são bem "fora da caixinha").
Punk 57 é sobre o Misha e a Ryen, que estudam em colégios diferentes e trocam cartas há 7 anos devido a um projeto dos professores. Os dois se encontram em uma festa, mas só o Misha reconhece a amiga (ela nunca viu nenhuma foto dele). Depois dessa noite, ele para de corresponder às cartas por 3 meses, e a trama parte daí.
Preciso dizer que já vi essa história sendo contada muitas vezes: o protagonista masculino é o bad boy novato da escola, conquista a mocinha, porém os problemas aparecem quando os segredos começam a vir à tona. Outro problema que eu notei é que as atitudes dos personagens são pouquíssimo realistas pra idade (pelo menos eu com 18 anos não era tão madura assim rsrs). Mas eu gosto muito da escrita da autora então, mesmo não sendo nada inovador, eu fiquei bastante entretida. Além disso, o plot twist nem passou pela minha cabeça, eu fiquei bem satisfeita com a conclusão.
