Questo libro l'ho scritto quando avevo 16 anni, lo dedico a mia madre. Forse, dopo un'attenta lettura, sarebbe stata molto fiera di me. Sicuramente si sarebbe lamentata per la poca luce e poi, avvicinandosi alla finestra, con il suo sguardo da scolaretta lo avrebbe letto tutto d'un fiato. Lo dedico a tutti quelli che come me non credono all'amore e che rimpiangono di non aver dimostrato a "qualcuno" i propri sentimenti, per il loro carattere irascibile. Lo dedico a tutte le ragazze che sono state con me. E a loro chiedo scusa se qualche episodio ricorderà momenti particolari passati insieme.
