Connell Waldron is one of the most popular boys in his small-town high school--he is a star of the football team and an excellent student, and he is never wanting for attention from girls. The one thing he doesn't have is money. Marianne Sheridan, a classmate of Connell's, has the opposite problem. Marianne is plain-looking, odd, and stubborn, and while her family is quite well off, she has no friends to speak of. There is, however, a deep and undeniable connection between the two teenagers, one that develops into a secret relationship.
Everything changes when both Connell and Marianne are accepted to Trinity College. Suddenly Marianne is well liked and elegant, holding court with her intellectual friends, while Connell hangs at the sidelines, not quite as fluent in the language of the elite. Throughout their years at university, Marianne and Connell circle each other, falling in and out of romance but never straying far from where they started. And as Marianne experiments with an increasingly dangerous string of boyfriends, Connell must decide how far he is willing to go to save his oldest friend

4 (Muito bom)

O livro foi muito chato, não vou mentir. eu fiquei com muita raiva das escolhas dos personagens, como eles agiam e achei muito irritante algumas partes desses aspectos. mas aí eu comecei a entender connell e marianne.. os seus pensamentos e os motivos das escolhas, até mesmo me identifiquei com algumas coisas.
porém uma coisa que me irritou de fato foi a falta de comunicação entre os dois, eles se mostraram com uma intimidade extraordinária mas que falhava quando era preciso conversar, ao meu ver dois personagens que se entendiam tão bem, deveriam saber se comunicar, mas talvez isso seja o que acontece conosco e por entender, mesmo me fazendo ter muita raiva, estou dando 4 estrelas para esse livro.
