I really like the idea of this book but I think the execution was somewhat flawed. It was very nice to read a story from the viewpoint of such an unreliable narrator. But I didn‘t think that any other characters were really fleshed out and the „plottwist“ was not that surprising to me and the ending felt rushed. It still made me think about my teenager years and how sometimes we tell ourselves stories which then become more real to us than the actual reality.
