I turn to the excellent audiobook to get me through hard days.
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.

I very much enjoyed this book and will definitely watch the movie to see if it is as good as the book it is based on.

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.
