Damn there were some hard-hitting truths cooked into the story in this one. I saw a negative review of this book that criticized that the “alien book” wasn’t about aliens, and I have to wonder how someone can so entirely lack reading comprehension. As most alien books are, at their core, this book was about humans, in all their wonderful fucked up glory. It was about social media and how, like humans, there are two sides to that coin. It’s about fame and what it makes people do. And it’s about April, who is seriously seriously flawed. Just like everyone else.

Ah, this is difficult. I should have loved this. I wanted to love this so much. But unfortunately, I didn't. I did love the middle part with the puzzle, I basically flew through that. But the first 40% were really hard to get through and although the second half got better, I didn't feel much. I think this was my biggest issue with the book. I really liked the premise, the topics discussed here, the bi representation. I liked how media and the life of a person who suddenly becomes famous is depicted. And I understand that the protagonist is an unlikable character on purpose. I even liked that she had flaws and made mistakes (even though I got annoyed when she didn't learn from them at all). But at the same time she has issues with feelings and shuts them out completely, so I really had trouble to care for her story and her cause. Because I didn't feel anything. I didn't hate it, I just didn't love it either, so my rating is somewhere in the middle.

I had been in a reading slump before reading this book. This book helped me out of it. I finished it in five days, and read the book in large portions at once. This book was thought provoking, and I like the way it explored different themes. 
 

spoiler>There's a quote in this book about how once a lot of people with extreme views have family recipes, and lives. I think a lot of people forget that everyone is human, and I loved the empathy this book had for humanity. I also loved how human April May was.

Mein Verhältnis zu dem Buch ist ein wenig gespalten. Ich fand es schwer mich aufzuraffen es zu lesen, weil es mich so nervös gemacht hat und so stressig war, aber gleichzeitig konnte ich nicht aufhören wenn ich es dann gelesen habe. Und eigentlich ist es ja auch gut, dass das Buch diese Emotionen vermitteln konnte. Am meisten haben mich die „ihr wisst alle was am tag xy passiert ist/ was als nächstes geschah/ etc.” -Aussagen fertig gemacht, weil ich ja eben NICHT wusste was passiert ist. Im großen und ganzen ein echt gutes Buch, wenn auch sehr nervenaufreibend….
