The story began extremely promising and I loved reading about all of the main characters stories and motives, but some parts were extremely weird and irritating (yes I’m mainly referring to the author’s self-insert in the story) + maybe it’s just me but…

Spoiler

Veronika surviving was disappointing and more predictable than her dying

Questa lettura è stata davvero bella e di ispirazione, penso che mi porterò con me questi personaggi per molto tempo anche futuro, insieme agli insegnamenti che ognuno di loro mi ha dato.

it took me a while to get into this book and grasp what it really is about but in the end i really liked it. it gives a lot food for thought and reflection about various topics (e.g. life, love, death, mental health). there's a lot to understand and reflect on in this short book, but that was greatly done by following a relatively clear red thread. I'm not per se okay with what dr. igor does/did in the book but i can see where he was coming from and where he wanted to go. the ending was a bit too loose for me but i still liked it in a way to leave it to one's own imagination

Spoiler

to veronica when she finds out that she won't die too soon and how everything will turn out with eduard.
