bisschen langweilig, iwie war liss ein leeres blatt abseits ihrer vergangenheit (therapie hilft!!) 

die entscheidung, die am ende von sally getroffen wird, zurück zu uhren eltern zu gehen weil die sie ja trotzdem irgendwie lieben, war schon random und hat weder zu liss erfahrung und ihren sonstigen meinungen gepasst, noch dem entsprochen, was man vorher über sally herausgefunden hat.

Bitte lest die Contentwarnung (ganz unten) durch, damit ihr nicht, wie ich, vollkommen überrascht werdet von diesem Buch 😭😭

Im großen und ganzen war das Buch völlig okay, es gibt ein schönes Ende und die beiden Protagonistinnen machen beide ne Charackterliche Entwicklung durch. Schreibstil wechselt von Sallys Sicht zu Liss innerhalb der Kapitel, war manchmal ein wenig irritierend

Als Liss sich selbstverletzt hat, nur um "zu sehen wie das ist" wollte ich das Buch an die Wand werfen. Selbstverletztungen sind KEIN guter Coping Skill! Bitte sucht euch professionelle Hilfe, solltet ihr Gedanken in diese Richtungen haben (passt auf euch auf!)

4.0

Ich liebe es, wenn man nach dem Lesen die Welt mit anderen Augen sieht, auch wenn es nie sehr lange anhält. "Alte Sorten" ist eindrucksvoll geschrieben, wenn auch stellenweise die Ausdrucksweise der jugendlichen Figur unrealistisch oder unbeholfen wirkt. 

Die Aufteilung der Kapitel in Tage hat perfekt zu dem Buch gepasst und für mehr Realitätsnähe gesorgt.

Trotzdem ein Stern Abzug wegen zweier... fragwürdigen Szenen:

Als Sally badet und einen jähzornigen Anfall bekommt, weil Liss sie sieht

und das Blackfacing (?).

Was ich etwas seltsam finde ist die Tatsache, dass das Buch von einem Mann geschrieben wurde, weswegen stellenweise der Tiefgang in der weiblichen Erfahrung fehlt.
