One of my favorite books. In spite of the many different content warnings, it's one of my favorites to give to teenagers because it's the best recipe I know for empathy. 

I turn to the excellent audiobook to get me through hard days.
SpoilerToday I re-read it on the long road trip to my grandfather's funeral, and had completely forgotten about the scene where A witnesses the funeral of a beloved grandfather. It happened when I was twenty miles away from the church, and the writing was so powerful and the different layers of grief resonated so intensely with me that I started sobbing. (Luckily my partner was driving.)


I just... I keep coming back to this book because it keeps meaning more and new and different things to me at different times in my life. I know it's a young adult book, but I'm 37, and was born with a disability. As a kid I would have given anything to have A's blessing/curse. The story of A's life reminds me of the many different facets of human existence, and helps me feel less alone.

This was very easy reading fiction, such a great plot and interesting concept to delve into. I also really liked the brief moments looking into different peoples realities and how they shape the flow of their lives.

Das Buch ist stellenweise richtig gut, nur muss ich gestehen, dass ich mit Rhiannon irgendwie nicht warm geworden bin. In A konnte ich mich sehr gut hineinversetzen und mochte den Charakter gerne.
Am Ende ist einiges offen geblieben. 

Und ich finde es schade, dass sie auf dem Cover des Hörbuchs und auch in der Beschreibung des Buches aus A einen Jungen gemacht haben.
