„Die Einsamkeit in uns können wir nur gemeinsam überwinden.“

The writing style of the first ~50 pages sounded so pretentious - as if the author desperately wants his book to be talked about in high schools. 

It got better after that and was easy to read (which kinda saved it from a really bad rating), but contemporary literature about the regrets and tragedies in the life of a middle aged white guy just isn't my jam.
