Your Perfect Year by Charlotte Lucas

5.0

4.5☆ I expected a light and fluffy read but got a much more challenging, thoughtful book instead, even though it still wrapped up nicely in the end. Although it was easily predictable, I thoroughly enjoyed reading a book popular and set in Germany; it may still be Eurocentric but at least it's not US-centric. I should have guessed sooner that'Harry Potter' at the beginning was definitely Simon and that Jonathan's mom died instead of abandoning him; I also should have realized how oblivious Hannah really was. The translation was generally pretty good but I bet it's even better in German.
