Enséñame a olvidar
by Erica M. ChapmanLA NOVELA DEBUT DE UNA DE LAS AUTORAS MÁS PROMETEDORAS DE LA NOVELA REALISTA JUVENIL ¿Cómo aprender a vivir mientras esperas el día en que has decidido morir? Ellery lo tiene todo listo. Ha comprado una pistola. Ha preparado su propio entierro. Ha elegido el día y la hora. Lo único que le falta es morir. Pero al apretar el gatillo, algo falla. Ellery no está muerta, por mucho que lo desee. En un segundo todos sus planes se desvanecen, y lo único que le queda es un arma defectuosa y veintiocho días por delante: los que quedan hasta el 31 de octubre, la fecha en que volverá a intentar suicidarse. La intención de Ellery es pasar sus últimos días lo más inadvertida posible y que su muerte no moleste a nadie. Pero Colter Sawyer, quien lleva tiempo observándola, ve en ella algo que le resulta familiar, y no tardará en unir las piezas y dar con su secreto. Veintiocho oportunidades para seguir con vida, para retomar viejas amistades, para enamorarse. Veintiocho oportunidades para aprender a olvidar. «La voz de Ellery es atractiva y auténtica, y su afilado humor negro entra hábilmente en juego… La tristeza da lugar a la redención y a la esperanza en esta conmovedora lectura» Kirkus Reviews
