Das Buch ist wirklich sehr ruhig und langsam. Eigentlich ist es kein YA-Buch, spielt aber die meiste Zeit in der Vergangenheit des Hauptcharakters. Es geht vor allem um die erste Jugendliebe, aber teilweise kam es mir so vor als käme der Autor nicht richtig zum Punkt.
Ich habe es als Hörbuch gehört und es hat wirklich gedauert, bis ich mich zum Weiterhören aufraffen konnte.

This was a surprise!
I got this book as my free bonus audiobook through audiobooks.co.uk (a great alternative to audible), because their free books are often bottom of the barrel weird stuff and this was recent and by a well known author! So I thought why not.
Truly a surprise to have enjoyed it as much as I did. I don’t really know what I was expecting, but a story of a man thinking back to his first love, and the summer surrounding it, how it ultimately changed him was left me with a warm feeling and pretty much that’s all that matters to me.
