✨️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."

Without a doubt, 5 stars. It is my new favourite book of all time. I could read it again. I didn’t want to say goodbye to the characters. I wanted to live in the universe of the book to go and watch all of her films now knowing the lore behind the scenes of them all. 
I must admit that I did predict the plot twist at the end but it didn’t take away from the book. It definitely isn’t the focal point of the book (for me anyway). 
I loved how different it was from anything I’ve read before. You’d imagine a book about a movie star to feel a bit airy and fictional but this wasn’t. I got so lost in the pages that I couldn’t put it down. Every character was so real and flawed, which helped ground it. 
I didn’t completely cry but often had tears in my eyes.
I’d read content warnings but wouldn’t be too discouraged from the book from them as they were all mild. 

As someone who has recently come to terms with their bisexuality, this is a book I believe all bisexuals must read. It has some very important messages for us. I felt so seen and completely empathised with Evelyn.

Beautifully written book. Explores the struggle of women knowing what they want and going after it, of identity struggles and of all different types of love. Kept interest throughout with good twist at the end.
