I don’t have the words yet, but let my rating speak for itself. LIFE-ALTERING TBH. I will never be the same.

This book ripped me apart and stitched me back together.

And this, he decides, is what a good-bye should be.
Not a period, but an ellipsis, a statement trailing off, until someone is there to pick it up.
It is a door left open.
It is drifting off to sleep.

I loved the writing, the story, the characters. I loved everything about this book. It does start quite slow, up until the 15% mark and the history bits weren’t alway super interesting. So at first I kind of thought I was gonna give it a 4.5/4.75, but I just loved the book as whole.

The writing is at times reflective towards the future about things Addie would learn of see as the years went on, and I really really loved that.

La verdad es que me gustaron tanto la trama como los personajes, pero el libro de 545 páginas podría haber sido de 350 como mucho. Entiendo el porqué de la longitud, pero igual me pareció demasiado largo sin necesidad.

The book felt longer than it should be but I loved the characters. I felt their heartbreak, their hope, and their despair. I enjoyed the writing style. The book made me reflect on my own life.

ich weiß nicht, was ich zu diesem buch sagen soll. ich hatte es schon lange zu hause liegen, aber bin so froh, dass ich es erst jetzt gelesen habe - es hat mich genau im richtigen moment meines lebens erreicht und mitten ins herz getroffen. ich hab gelacht und geweint und so viel gefühlt; ich war sprachlos von dem wunderschönen schreibstil und der wunderschönen geschichte. habe mitgefiebert und mitgegrübelt; habe nachts über fragen nachgedacht, die sich addie in diesem buch gestellt hat und die ich auf mich projiziert hab. ich hab alle charaktere so geliebt, konnte mich mit ihnen identifizieren und habe zusammen mit ihnen gelitten und mich gefreut. alles ist so unheimlich wundervoll erzählt; v.e. schwab hat das buch 10 jahre lang geschrieben und das merkt man an jeder seite, jedem satz und jedem kleinen detail. 

freue mich schon so, es in einiger zeit noch einmal zu lesen 

easily one of the best books i have ever read
