And the thing is, Tori, "doesn't usually express or externalize much of what goes through her mind, so getting to know her in this novel has been very special, especially when we meet a teenager who is quite isolated and is in a period of self-discovery."
"For me it has been a very special book, it has been like a shelter, it has been like a hug, especially because there are several aspects in which I understand Tori very well and I have been able to see myself reflected in many of the attitudes that she has," she stressed.
