The writing started to feel long-winded and made me lose interest. Maybe another time.

Ich mochte die Geschichte um eine Familie und wie sie mit den Veränderungen in der Klimakrise zurecht kommt. Die Charaktere mag man nicht wirklich, aber das soll dazu gehören. Es wird sehr viel Alkohol getrunken und normalisiert,  aber auch das soll dazu gehören und finde ich nicht unrealistisch. Insgesamt eine nette Geschichte mit Gesellschaftskritik.
