A wonderful and unusual story told in a beautifully understated way. Quietly magnificent Ruth Hogan, author of The Keeper of Lost ThingsTen-year-old Joan was born with a rare gift: she can remember every single day of her life in perfect detail. She can tell you how many times her mother has uttered the phrase it never fails in the last six months (twenty-seven), or what she was wearing when her grandfather took her fishing on a particular Sunday in June years ago (fox socks).But Joan doesnt want to be the girl who remembers everything she wants to be the girl that no one can forget. When her fathers old bandmate Gavin comes to stay, reeling from the sudden loss of his partner Sydney, Joan is keen to enlist his help in making her name. Even if it means using her extraordinary memory to help him solve the mystery of Sydneys final months . . .Told in the alternating voices of two unforgettable characters, Val Emmichs The Reminders is a funny, heart-wrenching and uplifting story of friendship, grief, memory and hope.

Evan Hansen creia varias cosas:Que jamas superaria sus ataques de ansiedad. Que a nadie le importarian sus problemas. Que nunca lograria conectar con alguien. Que siempre se sentiria vacio, excluido y decepcionado. Que a la gente solo le importa aparentar en las redes sociales. Se equivocaba en todas.Todo empezo con una carta que salio del corazon y cayo en manos erroneas... para acabar en una autentica revolucion por un mundo mas amable.Ahora Evan tiene la oportunidad mas importante de su vida: no solo de ser reconocido, sino de decir lo que importa, crear vinculos, dejar huella... e incluso entender ese curioso fenomeno llamado amor.The Wall Street Journal- "Reseña de Querido Evan Hansen: una oda a los marginados".
