hab mir das Hörbuch auf Spotify gegeben und hab mich in Lio und ihren Traumatas wiedergefunden und gesehen gefühlt aber mir hat schon irgendwie noch was gefehlt. und ich fand Mariam war sehr das Klischee von der supportive extrovertierten queeren Besten Freundin und ich hätte mir da irgendwie mehr gewünscht. Aber ich fand das Buch schon auch unterhaltsam und reflektierend und auch wichtig bezogen auf Trauma, Sexund Beziehungen..

fuck....
dieses buch!!! ich glaube darüber werde ich noch ganz viel nachdenken. es hat mir so viele internalisierte Strukturen und Denkweisen offen gelegt und mich dazu gebracht meine eigene Neurodivergenz in einem weniger stigmatisierten Licht zu sehen. Die Charaktere in diesem Buch waren so liebevoll geschrieben und komplex. SO VIELE EBENEN!!!! Auch der Plot hat so viele Sachen aufgegriffen ohne wie eine Liste zu klingen. Ich bin so froh, dass ich das Buch von meiner Arbeit geklaut hab (ich bring es zurück und zwinge alle es zu lesen.. 
nachdem ich trigger warnungen draufgeschrieben hab). Ich wünschte es gäbe das Buch in englisch damit ich es meiner Freundin leihen könnte.. 😭

didn't do it for me,,, i liked the character developmentin regards to gender and stuff tho. the first part of it was also very nice and fun but then i got really confused about who's who and who killed who and all that...

could've done with less (aka no) misogyny and racism and was very predictable but i overall enjoyed it. the way he writes women is horrendous tho. but I was rooting for Emilio and the Capellis.
