Fesselnde Geschichte. Spannendes Beziehungskonzept der Hauptfiguren. Zwei der Hauptcharaktere sind in einer homosexuellen Beziehung. Das häufig nicht ernstgenommene Krankheitsbild der Endometriose wird thematisiert. Therapie wird NICHT als Tabuthema behandelt.

Etwas zu viel Trauma (für meinen Geschmack) im Bezug auf die Charaktere. Außerdem schien die Handlung manchmal entwas an den Haaren herbeigezogen.

Trotzdem ein lohnenswertes Buch mit viel Spannung, Mysterien und einem Fokus auf den Charaktern. Lässt sich sehr schnell innerhalb weniger Stunden und mit wenig Aufwand lesen.

Ps: Danke an meine liebe Freundin Thea, die mir dieses Buch ans Herz gelegt hat. Hab dich lieb <3

This book was amazing..  but i will say very clearly PLEASE CHECK TRIGGER WARNINGS i did but not check thoroughly enough & i can tell you there is a lot of triggering content in the book, so take care of yourselves when you choose the media you consume 💗 I was so intrigued by the idea of this book, and i wasn’t disappointed. The format of the book is written in the present tense with Nora, in the bank, but we also jumped back into her past and learn more about what she’s been through. Honestly her past is so sad, i felt heartbroken reading what she went through but it’s really important as it shows you exactly why she thinks and behaves the way she does. I live for protective Nora, Iris (her girlfriend) has Endometriosis and the way she still takes care of her despite the fact they’re also in a life or death situation was amazing. I really loved the endo rep, it’s not something that’s often in books so it’s nice to see that representation. We also see Iris helping and even though she’s in pain she is also a big part of the plan and is so smart and helpful. The found family vibes were so cute, they were all so protective of each other while simultaneously arguing and disagreeing. Highly recommend this book as long as you’ve checked trigger warnings and are in the right headspace!! ✨

i love it! it didn’t glorify any abuse the characters went through and shows that it’s hard to leave abusive relationships. 
it’s filled with the found-family-trope, friendships, romance, funny characters and action! i did cry a couple times but found a new favorite character: Iris Moulton. i love her <3
