A Brazilian girl finds love-and herself-in London in this novel translated from Portuguese Seventeen-year-old Dayana is going through major life changes as she leaves behind everything she knows in her home country of Brazil for London, a place that so far, she doesn"t even like. Although she loves One Direction and used to be a committed Anglophile, ever since her father abandoned her and her mother 10 years ago to start a new life in London, the city has lost a lot of its charm. Now, after her mom"s death, Dayana has no option but to go live with her dad and his new family: Lauren, the stepmother she can"t stand, and Georgia, the stepsister she doesn"t get. Then there"s her father and their fragile relationship. To make matters worse, Dayana"s also been ignoring her grandparents back in Brazil. The only breath of fresh air is Diana, a beautiful young redheaded woman she has an odd first encounter with but quickly becomes fond of; the relationship they develop is lovely. As well as alternating present-day chapters with flashbacks from Dayana"s childhood, the book incorporates text threads and news reports. Dayana is fat, and her body positivity is refreshing, but the characters as a whole feel two-dimensional and their motivations aren"t fully explored. The translation unfortunately erases some cultural context in ways that limit full appreciation of the original.
