Man fliegt quasi durch das Buch durch, ich hatte es innerhalb von einem Tag komplett durch. 
Die Schwester Beziehung fand ich sehr schön dargestellt und Ida war tatsächlich auch mein Lieblingscharakter hier, da ich viel mit ihr mitfühlen konnte. Tilda's Entscheidung zwecks Ida fand ich teilweise etwas fragwürdig, aber genau das hat dem Buch dann diese Realität gegeben, die ich sehr genossen habe. Es ist klar, dass eine junge Erwachsene nicht immer alles super macht, besonders unter diesen schwierigen Umständen und fand Tilda's Bemühungen um Ida auch sehr herzerwärmend. Man hat wirklich durch die Erzählung gemerkt, wie viel sich die beiden lieben.
Anders war es bei mir mit Viktor, da hat es sich sehr Insta-Lovy angefühlt und auch wenn er mir zum Ende des Buches ans Herz gewachsen ist, fand ich das es einfach keine Liebesgeschichte hier gebraucht hätte. Da konnte ich iwie nicht sehr mitfühlen.
Insgesamt sehr nice für zwischendurch und würde ich definitv für Leute empfehlen, die gerne ne starke und inspirierende Beziehung zwischen Schwestern lesen wollen.

Dass Marlene im dritten Part gar nicht mehr aufgetaucht ist, als es Tilda so schlecht ging - Ich weiß noch nicht, ob ich das als gelungene oder lazy writing decision empfinde.

The story is told in such a tender way that it really contrasts the topics of alcoholism and abuse. It's told from the protagonist's perspective and the reader is very close to her thoughts (the whole book feels like there is very little mediation, e.g. through passages that present dialogue almost as in a play). There are some things that do not really add up for me (e g. how little time/effort she seems to need for a master's degree in mathematics or how the relationship with "the wolf" lacks substance), but overall this is a great debut novel and I will be reading the author's next book ☺️
