Claire and her mother are running out of time, but they don't know it. Not yet. Claire is wrapped up with the difficulties of her bourgeoning adulthood — boys, school, friends, identity; Claire's mother, a single mom, is rushed off her feet both at work and at home. They rarely find themselves in the same room at the same time, and it often seems that the only thing they can count on are notes to each other on the refrigerator door. When home is threatened by a crisis, their relationship experiences a momentous change. Forced to reevaluate the delicate balance between their personal lives and their bond as mother and daughter, Claire and her mother find new love and devotion for one another deeper than anything they had ever imagined.
Heartfelt, touching, and unforgettable, Life on the Refrigerator Door is a glimpse into the lives of mothers and daughters everywhere. In this deeply touching novel told through a series of notes written from a loving mother and her devoted fifteen-year-old daughter, debut author Alice Kuipers deftly captures the impenetrable fabric that connects mothers and daughters throughout the world. Moving and rich with emotion, Life on the Refrigerator Door delivers universal lessons about love in a wonderfully simple and poignant narrative.

A vida na porta da geladeira

O livro é composto só pelos bilhetes deixados na porta da geladeira pela filha e pela mãe, então justamente por isso é super rápido de ler.
A história em si é triste, não me fez derrubar nenhuma lágrima mas fez amigas minhas chorarem muito, então acredito que isso vai de pessoa pra pessoa.
Alguns momentos no livro fiquei irritada pela falta de maturidade tanto da mãe quanto da filha, mas consegui relevar. Não é uma leitura que eu vou levar pra vida ou indicar para as pessoas, mas recomendo pra quem quer ler alguma coisa e não tem muito tempo livre.
