******

THE ORIGINAL BOOK IS BRILLIANT. ✨

This explanation is about the German audio book:

******

The *German* version is badly translated. I cringed!

Admittedly, while the narrator has an amazing voice, the German audiobook was also not well read, and some things were just pronounced wrong, which kept pulling me out of the story.

Best book I've read in a long time. Sometimes I wanted to highlight All the Words, the writing is beautiful.
Very emotional (in a good way) and tender.

Very fast and engaging read! The romance is very complicated, and I can understand the division of opinions on it. I appreciated that the author gave them a solid foundation, and also was brutally honest about the consequences of the relationship. Overall I was fine with it, this love is very much along the lines of “if you know you know, so seize it while you have the opportunity”. It happened a little too fast though! 

Loved the authors writing, as well as the exploration of grief. Think this book was just fine.
