Habe selten so oft „Oh no“ beim Lesen gedacht.

Ich hoffe, Cline schreibt noch viele Romane – ihre Figurenzeichnung und Mileustudien sind fantastisch. An Die Einladung gefällt mir nicht nur der viel gelobte Spannungsbogen (wobei es eher ein Anspannungsbogen ist), sondern wie ich als Leserin die Welt durch die Augen der Protagonistin gesehen habe. Erst mitten drin ist mir aufgefallen, dass Cline keine Ich-Erzählerin eingesetzt, es sich für mich aber genau so angefühlt hat. Chapeau!

A compelling read about the worst person. Insanely stressful watching her spiral out and make the worst decisions imaginable. 

Hard to write an ending, I get it. But damn this ending sucks shit. Or, I guess, this lack of ending sucks shit.

2.5 - 2 pour le début, 3 pour la suite du livre

Lecture perturbante. Très lent au début, j’ai eu un peu de mal à rentrer dans l’histoire. C’est très bien écrit et les descriptions sont super, je me voyais vraiment sur place. L’histoire est malaisante mais on a envie de savoir la suite, comment Alex va s’en sortir, où va t elle dormir le soir suivant.

Kept me hooked watching this all spiral out. I thought her motivation for wanting to go to the party was kinda unrealistic like too optimistic for her character but it all worked as a whole
