poetic_liz's review against another edition
- Plot- or character-driven? Character
- Flaws of characters a main focus? Yes
4.0
Ich würde das Buch den richtigen Leser*innen empfehlen, aber es ist kein Buch, das ich leichtherzig empfehlen würde, die Themen, die behandelt werden sind teilweise wirklich unschön, sie sind sehr direkt angesprochen, und ich würde keinen Charakter als "liebenswert" bezeichnen (ich bin nicht der Überzeugung, dass Charaktere das sein müssen, es ist also keine Kritik). Definitiv ein emotionales Buch, dass LGBT Identität und "Anders sein" in den 90er Jahren behandelt und nicht, was man in moderneren Coming-of-Age Romanen liest. Wenn ihr keine Lust mehr auf soft-washed queer teenager habt, sicher eine Option. Wenn ihr euch beim Lesen wohlfühlen wollt eher nicht.

Moderate: Medical content
I got to the part were the protagonist was molested as a child and it got put off as if the woman who did that taught him something, so a definite no from me. Also so many other problematic aspects which is sad because this is one of the only few German young adult books about a queer protagonist which is also own-voice. I really thought this could be a new favourite, that isn't set in US and that I can relate t a bit more.
