Loved the beginning of this book so much. Maybe my expectations were too high for the rest of it.

A very simply-written novel that is morally complex.

I read this book because I saw it used in the Dutch production of Dear Evan Hansen and I wanted to know why.

It's not a bad book when speaking of quality. The second and third part are pretty interesting. The first part is disgusting, and I doubt whether it was completely necessary or whether it could be solved in a different way.

I read this in one sitting (so to speak, I was on a plane). It is sad and strange, but hard to stop reading.

auf welche Weise hätte ich mich auch nur mit Einem der beiden Charaktäre binden sollen?
