Bevor ich dich sah by Emily Houghton
4.0
3,5***
Really nice book. Good idea, and I like the fact that the writer really gave herself a challenge, setting the main scene in the same room in a hospital. There's not much to work with there, so she has to create a great environment, interesting characters and a plot, that can hold through! And for the most part, she did that really well!
I read it in the German translated version, and what irritated me to the point, where I almost put the book down, is the repeating of words and references. I can count so many times, where the same word came again and again and again, and it shows little to the writers capability to use a big vocabulary. But then again, it could be a bad translation or it could have another feeling in English, I don't know. I just know that I didn't like it.
But really nice experience!
