Honestly this book was too slow paced for me and the ending was not memorable (i literally don’t remember how it ends and i don’t care)

5.0

ich bin positiv überrascht wie schnell sich dieses buch gelesen hat. die story hat mich wirklich von den ersten fünfzig seiten an gepackt und ich konnte nicht abwarten mehr zu lesen. die unterschiedlichen sichtweisen waren so gut geschrieben, dass es sich nach mehreren charakteren angefühlt hat und auch das ende war nicht das, was ich erwartet habe. ich werde auf jeden fall mehr von romy hausmann lesen!
