Zo’n mooi debuut!! Moest aan het begin erg wennen aan de dubbele perspectieven, omdat je niet wist welk hoofdstuk vanuit wel perspectief geschreven was. 

Je leert de personages echt kennen en ik voelde de liefde in elke zin. 

“Of heel misschien, en ik weet dat het niet kan, maar het troost me; word jij de zon en ik de maan. Dan zouden we licht geven. Ergens zouden we hetzelfde zijn, net als nu. En als je zou vallen, als de wereld voor even zo donker lijkt dat het ondraaglijk wordt, neem ik je plek in. Ook als dat betekent dat ik je nooit meer zie.”

5.0

“Sometimes the people you loved left you halfway through a story. Sometimes they left you without a goodbye. And, sometimes, they stayed around in little ways. In the memories of a musical. In the smell of their perfume. In the sound of the rain, and the itch for adventure, and the yearing for that liminal space between one airport terminal and the next. I hated her for leaving, and I loved her for staying as long as she could.”
