Ich hab ganz vergessen, wie sehr ich Jandy Nelsons Schreibstil hasse. Gott, war das anstrengend! Aber die Geschichte an sich war wenigstens manchmal sogar ganz interessant, auch wenn ich was ganz anderes erwartet hatte.

I expected this to be a light, average read like The Sky is Everywhere, but it honestly wasn't. The characters were well formed and interesting. And although their characters underwent a drastic change post-tragedy, that change was very much believable.
The plot was amazing and there was no unnecessary page fillers. Overall, amazing book that played mightily with my feels.

I started reading this book late 2017 when I was around 13, my dad died in early 2018 and it just hit too close to home and stopped reading, but the story never left my mind. Three years later I decided to pick it up from the beginning and this story just resonates with me on a different level than when I started reading because now I understand the whole process of grief, learning to cope with it and eventually, very slowly healing. This a beautifully written book that wonderfully explores the complicated world of being a teenager, losing a parent, how that breaks a family and the difficult journey to healing . Thank you for this book, trully.
