I did enjoy the book and know that this book will stay with me a for a while. (0 more)
In sections where there are no speech marks when characters talk to each other putt me off slightly. I am unsure if this was a writing tool to separate particular sections or sections that focus on Elia’s father, put me off slightly. (0 more)
Can you Hear Me
A very emotionally intense coming of age story of a teenage boy and his relationship with his family, neighbours and especially his paranoid and inconsolable and father. I thought extraordinarily beautiful coming of age tale that There is a crime element that leaves you with a feeling of uncomfortable tensions that create a chilling account of an abduction and a teenage boy desperately trying to come to terms with his dangerously unhinged father.

Brilliant soundtrack
Iconic 80s coming of age film
I've loved this film since I can remember - Broderick is perfect in it, and it's spawned so many pop culture references as a result I can't even count. Funny, stylish, and cool. When you're binging John Hughes films, finish strong with this one.

This was an amazing latina queer coming of age story that I think many people can relate to much like Juliet Takes a Breath by Gabby Rivera. It's a very diverse coming of age story and I couldn't wait to recommend this one to my bewk club. There was a lot of representation in this book including characters who were bisexual, biromantic, aromantic, pansexual, and plus size. Ophelia coming out was messy and this topic came up in our last book club meeting because we have a latina lesbian in our book club so this book is a perf read for us.

I think that the way Ophelia's crisis was handled was messy but hs typically is when you are trying to find yourself and Racquel did a really good job of showing the complexities of hs. I also loved the characters Wesley, Agatha, Sammie, and Talia. This could be the next big HS tv show hit after Euphoria and I am all for it. Def would want to cast Maddie in a role. #teamophelia

"This coming-of-age tale is near and dear to me, since my brother and I were featured extras in it while on a family trip to Italy. Our parts were cut in the end, and being toddlers we didn’t remember much, but it seemed like fun at the time and craft services was amazing."
