okayyy, man likās, ka grāmata būs tikpat laba vai pat labāka nekā seriāls, bet jāsaka, ka es biju diezgan vīlusies. nu nevar būt tā, ka diviem cilvēkiem visu laiku ir melnā strīpa dzīvē, un tad, kad parādās cerības stars par labāku dzīvi, tad emma vienkārši ņem un nomirst. skatoties seriālu, es biju vairāk moved nekā lasot par to grāmatā. viņi abi ir sarkanie karogi, un es pat nezinu, kas mani nesaistīja šajā grāmatā. varbūt rakstīšanas stils? varoņi? es pat nezinu, bet es ļoti, ļoti centos, lai man iepatiktos šī grāmata, bet tas diemžēl nebija manos spēkos. :(

this feels a lot like a couple of my all-time favourite books i've ever read which is probably part of why i enjoyed this so much but it isn't perfect. just to get this out of the way, it was annoyingly obvious that this was written by a man at parts - emma was mostly well written (i kept forgetting she was written by a man) but this showed a lot in the way that the other women were written in this book. just straight up caricatures. it also felt like it would've done numbers on tumblr (for the same reasons The Fault in Our Stars did) but despite all of that i really loved this novel. i loved the characters - they were complex and flawed but they felt so real and it made it even more frustrating to watch them constantly fuck up. the ending hit me like a truck and i'm so glad i picked this up. this is (almost) everything i wanted Talking at Night to be!

I read this after watching the Netflix series and I would say that helps a lot. I found this book fun from time to time and also pretty enjoyable. But I also found this book boring and annoying in some parts. For example at the beginning I hade a hard time getting into the book and also some where in the middle it was a little bit hard to keep reading. But over all I liked the book and their for I am giving a 3.25 star.
