What the readers from the Spanish edition think about 'Paper Boats'
Miranda

Everything I love and look for in youth adult’s fiction. A clever, funny, moving page-turner.
Emmanuel
Cracking page-turner
A painful story smartly told, Conceição's first solo novel has appeal well beyond a middle school audience.
Violeta
Touching
An awe-inspiring, thought-provoking reminder that love reaches beyond physical appearances or gender.
Lorenzo
Deep
A many-layered story told with a sensitive touch.
Alexia
Romance meets thriller
Moving, descriptive and seductive gay thriller.
Ángel
Unique
Many teen novels touch on similar themes, few risk diving deep in gay feelings and just this one do it so memorably.
This is young adult realism
saturated with light and punctuated with darkness.
