Ich hatte große Erwartungen an dieses Buch, ich hab vor paar Monaten zum ersten Mal die Edelsteintrilogie gelesen, dann kam der Film zum Buch raus also dachte ich mir wieso denn nicht mal die Silber Trilogie ausprobieren. Der in Träume gehen Aspekt dieses Buches war irgendwie was am meisten interessant war, klar wurde da auch eine Liebesgeschichte hineingeschmuggelt, aber ist die gut? Bei rubinrot erfuhr man zumindestens im zweiten Buch wieso es eine instalove war, man kann deren Liebe nachvollziehen und an sie glauben, die beiden shippen und wollen dass sie zusammenbleiben, aber mit

Henry

Ist es einfach zu plötzlich. Ja, er mag die weil sie süß ist und wahrscheinlich dieses unnahbare hat und weil sie Jungfrau ist, die mag ihn weil er attraktiv ist. Wow, wie für einander gemacht. Aber wenn wir schon beim Jungfrau Aspekt sind, wieso glorifiziert sie so sehr dieses Jungfrau sein und lässt es als dieses tolle besondere Ding wirken. Wobei die drei Typen sie jedoch zur selben Zeit andauernd anmachen und ihr sagen, „echt du siehst nicht wie eine Jungfrau aus?“ . UND wie dumm liv auch noch ist, oh drei Jungs wollen mit mir in einen Keller in einem mir fremden Haus gehen und sagen mir dann dass sie ein Spiel spielen wollen, dass nur geht wenn ich Jungfrau bin, natürlich sag ich dazu ja. Was denn sonst. Ein schreckliches Bild gibt das den Mädchen die das lesen. Hätte ich das gewusst hätte ich es nicht anderen jungen Mädchen empfohlen.

listen. i love Henry Harper like everyone does, but there are some questionable things he's doing (

calling Liv's mean girl a fat hoe or stealing from her to break into her dreams will do it

) 
i still love him, though
also, i forgot how funny this book is

Reread bc I forgot everything since reading it for the first time like 10 years ago. I liked the premise and most of the characters, but I can't help but feel a little creeped out by some of their behaviour. Like why is this a YA book and the love interest and his buddies constantly comment on how dangerous hanging out with them could be and how the MC should not e.g. go to the basement with "three strange guys". I get they're trying to be mysterious but could this not be portrayed in any other way? And why was I confused about whether or not she kind of fancied her stepbrother-to-be in the beginning? I feel like there shouldn't be any uncertainty...
I also think I'm slowly getting to old to really enjoy YA, or it was maybe just this one bc I was cringing so hard at the outfit choices or some dialogue (which seems fitting for teenagers!! and teenage readers!)... 
What I did really like was that there was no unnecessary plot to reveal how the MC and MMC feel for each other, he was always quite upfront about it.

Slay, Henry!

Wer Lust hat auf eine Story hat, die ein Mix aus "Gossip Girl", "Inception" und "Jennifer`s Body" ist, der ist hier zu 100% richtig

Ich hatte keine Ahnung was mich erwartet, als ich vor 3 Tagen dieses Hörbuch angefangen habe und damn ich wäre niemals drauf gekommen, aber ich hatte selten so viel Spaß bei einem Hörbuch. Ich konnte gar nicht mehr aufhören dieses Hörbuch zu hören und bin, nachdem ich das heute beendet habe immediately zum nächsten gesprungen.

War es an Teilen dumm und cringe? Ja!
Ist mir das egal, weil es trotzdem süchtig macht? Auch ja!

All in all, would definitely recommend, especially wenn man wie ich krank im Bett liegt und das Gehirn ausschalten will mit einer wacky story, einem absoluten Wohlfühlschreibstil und einer angenehmen Erzählstimme

What put me off about this book weren't the writing stye or the general worldbuilding. But rather all those harmful stereotyes conveyed not through some but all characters. 

The pathetic attempt to build an interesting main character failed. I mean Liv has the most interesting background story but it's irrerelevant for the stories. The focus of the story kinda remains with the good-looking boygroup. She's doing Kung-fu but even that is on ever mentioned in one or two sentences. Also "since when are u so girly?" She's contantly judged for her actions as a girl but has to go through the average cinderella transformation. It bored me so much.
