4.0

Die Art und Weise, wie das Buch geschrieben wurde, gefällt mir sehr. Allgemein habe ich das Gefühl bekommen, dass dieses Buch für mich alleine geschrieben wurde. Die Teile des Buchs haben mich alle auf ganz unterschiedlicher Art und Weise berührt. Selbst den großen Twist konnte ich nicht vorhersehen. Die Leserin war fantastisch. Im Endeffekt ist das Buch doch sehr traurig - es hat mich zum weinen gebracht. Den zweiten Teil würde ich aber nicht lesen wollen. Ebenso wenig kann ich mir vorstellen, das Buch noch einmal zu lesen.

I have so much to say about this and nothing to say about this at the same time. Just like, why would you right this? It wasn’t terrible, I just don’t know what the intention was here.

2.0

It was an alright read, I detested the main characters inner dialogue and how she was chasing after a boy who was already involved in a relationship. The plot twist wasn’t overall shocking and the foreshadowing was abundantly clear from the start, overall wasn’t great, but wasn’t bad either.

5.0

Though the book was very challenging, this is by far one of the greatest things I've ever read. The plot is super captivating and the characters are mostly relatable. I wouldn't recomend the book to anyone who gets confused easily in plots that have very frequent flash backs and often metaphorical writing, but if you can handle those things you'll love this book. It have a very dark tone to it and a plot twist at the end that will completely surprise you.
