Die Art und Weise, wie das Buch geschrieben wurde, gefällt mir sehr. Allgemein habe ich das Gefühl bekommen, dass dieses Buch für mich alleine geschrieben wurde. Die Teile des Buchs haben mich alle auf ganz unterschiedlicher Art und Weise berührt. Selbst den großen Twist konnte ich nicht vorhersehen. Die Leserin war fantastisch. Im Endeffekt ist das Buch doch sehr traurig - es hat mich zum weinen gebracht. Den zweiten Teil würde ich aber nicht lesen wollen. Ebenso wenig kann ich mir vorstellen, das Buch noch einmal zu lesen.

I have so much to say about this and nothing to say about this at the same time. Just like, why would you right this? It wasn’t terrible, I just don’t know what the intention was here.

It was an alright read, I detested the main characters inner dialogue and how she was chasing after a boy who was already involved in a relationship. The plot twist wasn’t overall shocking and the foreshadowing was abundantly clear from the start, overall wasn’t great, but wasn’t bad either.

I got only halfway through the book and it is not appropriate for ages under 14. I heard that the farther you go the more inappropriate it gets.
