At 32, Luisa encounters her 15-year-old self in this sensitive, bold story about self-acceptance and sexuality. Single, and having left behind her dream to become a renowned photographer, she is struggling to find out who she is and what she wants. In order to help and guide her younger self, she must finally face herself and her past. When Luisa finds herself attracted to a female neighbor, things become even more complicated... Insightful and funny, this is a feel-good coming-of-age story.

Review of 'Luisa: Now and Then' on 'Storygraph'

3 stars

I had a hard time with this book. On one hand, I like the message, but I couldn’t identify with the character at all. Seriously, your younger self comes to visit and after establishing that it’s really you, the first thing you do is start belittling her fashion choices and yelling at her?

It just hurt to read. And the thrust of the book went somewhere other than where I would have thought.
