very fun dynamics, intricate world building that doesn't overwhelm you, lovely characters, many twists & creative. I have a massive crush on lilia and a little one on wendall
buuuut em was a little egoistic for my liking? which makes her a good fit for the love interest & created an interesting character, but is a little infuriating sometimes
and it is rather slow :)

Meine Erwartungen lagen in der hintersten Ecke meines Zimmers rum, aber das Buch war tatsächlich irgendwie entertaining und endearing. Ab und an fühlte es sich ein wenig stereotypisch/ etwas sexistisch an, aber an sich ein gutes Buch zum Entspannen, Brainrotten, Männer ein wenig hassen, aber auch ein paar ins Herz schließen?

I've been very uncomfortable due to the sexual depiction of our main character, because SHE IS A FUCKING CHILD and drawing her in a bra and panties because of a joke or using a perspective that enables the reader to glimpse under her skirt felt incredibly inappropriate. Don't know whether that was intentional tho, I did love the flying penguin and the relationship between father and daughter

etwas verstörend, besonders am Anfang, aber hat interessante Einblicke in das Leben im Sudan und den Konflikt dort gegeben und es gab sehr schöne Beschreibungen :) Hatte die Ehre, die Autorin kennenzulernen und sie ist total lieb und herzlich.

did not like this at all?
idk I felt as if the book didn't really take the suicide seriously or offered another perspective on it, I hated the "love interest", it felt as if her own worth was connected to the perception of other people, especially her boyfriend AND why the fuck was she naked the whole time??

It's over??? :(
okay so, listen, this book was cheesy as fuck and the end reminded me of the ghibli "whisper of the heart" because why are they promising forever to each other, when they didn't fucking know each other for a long time??
Apart from the end tho, I really liked their interactions. They know each other so well & are attentive :) And I love tension and yearning, sooooo
The dialogue was witty and fun and I adore the friendships that were portrayed. LIKE SERIOUSLY THE FOUND FAMILY IN THIS ONE??? >>>
The themes discussed we're layed out in a very placative way sometimes, but honestly, they are important so a little exaggeration is fine with me.
I just kinda clicked with the book and I'm not sure that would be the case for everyone, but I enjoyed it so, so much. I could even motivate myself to do math homework because I would read this book in the breaks and stayed up late multiple nights and went to school sleep deprived in order to read a liiittle more.
nah truly tho, this book is all about forgiveness, vulnerability, confidence, self-discovery, empathy and love and it just makes you feel good :) even tho some of the topics are not quite feel-good-material, but rather serious, so there was some substance involved

my heart is broken :( I love Iris and Roman and I love Atti and Marisol (don't know how their names are written) just as much :(( gotta read the second volume asap, because that cliffhanger will actually destroy me otherwise
