I was turned between giving 3 or 4 stars, in the end, it's 4 since I really enjoyed it!
and this book definitely is a good one. the author was able to make me feel the sadness, the jealousy, the love, and the betrayal throughout the whole book. there was an impact in her words that can make anyone relate to it.
though I loved it, still I think her use of words was very limited ( even though English is not my native language) I can tell when the poet didn't express him or herself enough! she could have made a much more powerful impact on the reader.

Als kleines Lili Reinhart Fangirl, und immer mehr Poetry-Leserin musste ich dieses Buch einfach haben. Und ja, ich würde absolut mitgerissen und überzeugt. Von vorne bis hinten! Zum einen ist die Aufmachung mit den zwei Sprachen wunderschön gelöst, und es ist so toll zu sehen, wie unterschiedlich und doch gleich zwei Sprachen die gleichen Dinge ausdrücken können. Der Vergleich hat mir hier besonders gut gefallen! Lilis Worte haben mich sehr berührt. Sie gingen direkt ins Herz, und ich werde bestimmt noch lange darüber nachdenken. Ich liebe Gedichte einfach! Vor allem wenn sie so lebensnah sind, man sich verstanden fühlt und gleichzeitig so viel von ihrer Verfasserin erfährt. Absolut wundervoll - natürlich nicht nur für „Riverdale“-Fans!

This would have been profound when I was in middle-school because it captures the angst of 'adolescent public journal' really well.
