✨️WOW✨️
'Evelyn, wer war Ihre große Liebe?'

Dieses Buch war so viel besser als ich erwartet hatte! Ich kann gar nicht in Worte fassen, wie gut ich es fand. Ich dachte es könnte vielleicht ein wenig langweilig werden und war skeptisch vom Internet-hype. Aber schon der Schreibstil des Buches hat mir sehr gefallen. Die Abwechslung der Kapitel hat es zu einem fast read gemacht und die Artikel zwischendrin haben das Lesen erleichtert. 

"Sie werden es nicht versuchen. [...] Keiner will Menschen wie uns verstehen."

However ich habe bei diesem Buch tatsächlich mehrfach ein paar Tränen verloren XD. Definitiv ein emotionales, aufregendes und spannendes Buch mit Plottwists, Herzschmerz und realen Krisen.  

"Wir könnten im Gefängnis oder in einer psychatrischen Anstalt enden. Verstehst du das? Wir könnten eingewiesen werden. So weit hergeholt ist das nicht. So etwas kommt vor. Auf jeden Fall kannst du dich darauf verlassen, dass Niemand mehr unsere Anrufe beantworten würde."

I truly understand the hype over this book. Taylor Jenkins Reid did such an amazing job with this book. It was not all what I expected going, but so much better. I flew through book but I wish I had paced myself. The last third is heavy and emotional so I definitely recommend not rushing through it. There’s a theme I typically hate when done in other books, but Reid does it very gracefully.
