"All i ever wished for WAS A FRIEND"
BRO😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭

Cómo vas a escribir una historia donde la protagonista desde niña pensaba que si hacía 1000 estrellas de papel, aparecería un hombre que le cumpliría su más grande deseo Y LIT SE PASÓ VARIOS AÑOS HACIENDO ESAS ESTRELLAS!!!!!


KAY O'NEILL es de las personas más talentosas y siempre que leo algo de ella me deja con el corazón blandito.
Me alegra haber leído esta historia.
Creo que tiene mucho de vida y de cómo nos imponemos expectativas, solo para hacer que este viaje al que llamamos vida, tenga más sentido.
Todos necesitamos creer en algo y es verdad.
Las estrellitas y el deseo es metafórico, pero también nos habla de como el ser humano siempre buscará compañía.

Amo esta clase de historias.
Corto y hermoso, por eso amo leer.

I remember seeing this on deviantart, a few years before. I thought it was cute and sad. I didn't remember who the author was.

Today, I was scrolling on Goodreads and found out about this (tbh, I was looking for short stories to get me pass my reading slump 😋) and decided to give it a go, not knowing I already read this. It was a nice, nostalgic moment.

I loved the art and the short story.

this was the shortest graphic novel and one of the most touching and effective of them all. I wanted to check kay o'neills very first work as a self proclaimed fan and I have to say I would love to see them incorporate this concept into their current style! a nice reminder that the sweetest art can sometimes be the shortest.

This was so adorable. The art style, the narrative, the real-life aspect. We grow with her in such a short time, seeing her true wish, and then how it finally gets granted, even though it was only 7 pages. Amazing read

3.5 stars. Sweet, but too slight. And a bit too predictable. But I will still keep reading from the author.

Katie O'Neill's work is just so wholesome and so heartwarming. This was a really sweet story. It is available on her Deviant Art.

I have loved this book since I was young after I got really into making paper stars (which I still do to this day) when I stumbled upon this and it comforted me so much and just thank you

Short but it makes your heart ache. I felt the pain and loneliness through it. Amazing.
