Ich bin ein bisschen hin- und hergerissen, aber heute großzügig gestimmt. 
Der Roman ist sprachlich wirklich schön, wenn auch gespickt mit der einen oder anderen Plattitüde. An keinem Punkt hatte ich das Bedürfnis, es nicht fertig zu lesen. Irgendwas hat mich also gepackt.
Doch die Geschichte entspricht auch ganz dem neuerdings so beliebten Genre "Tragedy Porn", dem ich recht wenig abgewinnen kann. Man muss nicht immer in alles möglichst viel Drama, Leid und Schmerz packen, denn irgendwann wird es unglaubwürdig. In solchen Romanen fehlt mir häufig das Banale und Alltägliche, das vermeintlich Langweilige, das mir dabei hilft, Elemente meines eigenen Lebens wiederzuerkennen und mich dem Ganzen mehr verbunden zu fühlen. 
Trotzdem empfehlenswert - denn ein Buch, über das man sprechen möchte, ist doch irgendwie kein schlechtes.
