Ingen lytter by Carina Edine
5.0
For. en. bok!!!! Om jeg kunne gitt 6 stjerner, så hadde jeg gitt det uten tvil.
For,
gråt jeg på t-banen (og så ut som en idiot), mens jeg leste denne boka?
Ja.
Leste jeg på den videre etter å ha kommet hjem, fordi jeg ikke klarte å legge den fra meg?
Ja.
Ble det en søvnløs natt med tårer (igjen) og tusen tanker, etter endt bok?
Ja.
Dette er en av mine topp 3 bøker i år, som har gjort ett skikkelig inntrykk på meg.
Så mye ømhet, så mye smerte, så mye sannhet. Carina har definitivt brukt dette til å skrive kunst i mine øyne. Det å forvandle traumer til dette? Wow. You fucking go girl.
«Ingen lytter» av Carina Edine er en debutant bok, som kom ut idag! Jeg er så sinnsykt imponert, og ser veldig frem til hva denne frøken har under sitt erme. (Eller i sine notater).
Alt i alt, så kan det ha vært fullmånen som har gjort meg ekstra emosjonell, men likevel så føler jeg på det at denne boken, denne boken er veldig spesiell for meg. Standing ovation kinda moment, Carina.

All the Lonely People by Mike Gayle
5.0
This book was not only heart-warming, but also heart-wrenching. It played with my emotions big time, but lucky for me, I like to ride the roller-coaster of emotions. It’s my favorite.
In this story, we follow an older Jamaican man, called Hubert Bird, who lives alone in Bromley (London) with his cat, Puss. After the death of his biggest love & late wife Joyce, the only communication Hubert does, is with his daughter Rose that lives in Australia. They talk on the phone each week, to fill each other on the everyday lives.
Hubert doesn't want to worry Rose about his loneliness, and his lack of human contact, so he makes up exciting scenarios of his day-to-day life, including his three best mates, that don't even exists. The problem occurs when Rose plans a trip back home to visit her dad. She wants to meet his friends.
Hubert has now only a couple of months to get back into the real world, and to cure his loneliness.
Switching between "Then" & "Now” chapters, we get to go along Hubert's journey from moving to England from Jamaica, and how hard that was under a time where racism was flourishing. We get to see what love and hard work feels like. We get ups and downs. We get lots of loneliness, but also a light in the end of the tunnel. Community..
