Was für ein schönes und bewegendes Buch. Ich habe jede Sekunde genossen und trotz der vielen Passagen im Roman, in denen unser Hauptcharakter Jules einfach nachdenkt oder über sein Leben reflektiert, mich nie gelangweilt. Es kommen einige schwierige Themen vor (TW sollten nachgeschaut werden) und man kann ziemlich runtergezogen werden. Dennoch schafft es Wells einem Hoffnung zu machen, dass das Leben immer weitergeht. Jede Person, die sich einsam oder verloren fühlt, und sich ein wenig Trost und doch Verständnis wünscht, sollte dieses Buch gelesen haben.

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.
