A previous review said this is so me coded and the book version of im the problem. I did enjoy how Daphne had her trials and tributes. I was a bit let down by the ending because it felt nothing was learned. However this book did peak more of my curiosity to visit Berlin myself.

In "Berlin" geht es um Daphne, eine junge Frau, die nach Berlin kommt um zu studieren und Deutsch zu lernen. Die Geschichte beginnt damit, dass jemand einen Stein durch ihr Fenster wirft.

Daphne wirkt irgendwie verloren und kaputt, was sie gleichzeitig spannend macht aber einen dazu bringt, sie einfach schütteln zu wollen, damit sie zur Vernunft kommt. Ein bisschen düster, ein bisschen verstörend ohne extrem zu sein, ein bisschen wie Berlin selbst.

Ich hab es ganz gern gelesen. Am Ende bleibt ein bisschen das Gefühl, das Tagebuch einer jungen und psychisch angeschlagener Frau gelesen zu haben.

I too have run abroad to escape my problems but that’s as far as i enjoyed this book. Daphne was  so insufferable and there were better ways to portray her compulsive lying
