I always wanted to read this book but honestly just because I really liked the cover of it, which is also why I bought it.

It‘s about the neighbor boys from the Lisbon girls who all 5 killed themselves. How they handle and experienced it all. But not only that but also how the community, neighborhood and everyone experienced it. 

Honestly the writing from the author is amazing. I loved his writing style a lot but sadly the story itself just wasn‘t for me. I know this topic is a hard one but somehow I just couldn‘t get into the book at all. I still think writing about suicide is important but for me this just wasn‘t it. I might give another book of his a try since I really enjoyed his writing. Maybe I also had too high expectations for this one, but again I had to really force myself to finish it. Which is also why it took me so long to finally finish it at the end.
