Beskrivning
It's a rainy weekend in Bogota, and eighteen-year-old Melissa is about to graduate from school. If, that is, she can scrape together the money to pay for the printer she broke. Melissa used to break a lot of things, but after five years of living with her aunt Anahi, she has become much better at controlling her anger. Then, out of the blue and for the first time in six months, Melissa's mother calls her and invites her to spend the weekend together in their old neighbourhood. Melissa is excited to spend time with her, but nervous about returning to the scene of her troubled early adolescence. Will she make it to Monday morning without jeopardising her future - or being swallowed up by her past?

Recensioner i media

'What makes [Imagine Breaking Everything] an unforgettable read is the combination of who Melissa is as a character and her voice. Not only is she the rare female protagonist who externalizes her rage, literally punching first so she won't become the punching bag, but as a first-person narrator she is brutally honest, funny, self-aware, and able to create moments of utter heartbreak and insight while staying true to the rawness of Bogota slang.'- Diana Andrade Melgarejo, Latin American Literature Today'The voice is electric, funny, furious — the kind of debut that announces a writer already in full stride.' - Leo Boix, The Morning Star'The new voice to know… Told with fierce honesty and dark humour, it’s a story of anger, forgiveness, and self-discovery. I read it in one sitting.’- Samantha Hass, Service95
