I didn't feel very connected to any of the characters, except Piñon, which made it harder for me to want to keep reading. Maybe it just went over my head but I think it's overhyped.

I'm looking foreward to the film coming out but I'm sure it can't live up to how good the book is and they probably won't imagine the characters how I have. I love Greta and am deeply attached to her, I want to see her get more therapy, do up the house with Sabine and start a long term relationship with the 'Big Swiss'. I want to see her happy and I think she almost got that at the end, I just wish her mum couldv'e seen that too and found that.

Humour, emotion, wit and beautiful descriptions - I liked the mix of transcription dialogue and real dialogue, the characterisation felt very natural and the story was a good pace, it didn’t drag too much.
I like how it explored the complicated nature of the human experience and the need to feel wanted and loved, and how our trauma follows us even when we don’t want it to, and the barriers we put up to protect ourselves. The way it dealt with sexuality, age, mental illness and self improvement was interesting too.
I liked the quirkiness of the town and the characters
