Rezension von Ryuhonestly would‘ve loved if the plot twist wasn‘t so close to the end and that they would‘ve reacted to it more. Would also have been nice if the plot twist never really happened because I would‘ve loved to see more T^T
Rezension von VickypediaDas Buch hat sich so intim angefühlt, aber auf eine ehrliche, ungeschönte Art. Man begleitet Fuyuko durch ihren Alltag: durch depressive Phasen, selbstzerstörerische Trunkenheit und dieses verzweifelte Hin- und Hergerissensein, wenn es um Nähe und Liebe geht. Es ist kein leichtes Buch, aber gerade deshalb ein wohltuender Realitätscheck gegenüber dem idealisierten und romantisierten Bild, das Social Media oft vermittelt. Ich habe das Buch wirklich sehr geliebt und auch wenn Fuyuko mit der Einsamkeit kämpft, habe ich mich durch sie in meiner Einsamkeit geborgen gefühlt.
Rezension von sosoSad but so beautiful and pure
Rezension von LiviaOn the importance and complexity of female friendship.💓
Rezension von ChiaraToll toll toll!!! Ein so trauriges Buch, das einen jedoch nicht traurig hinterlässt. Mithilfe einer sanften Erzählweise schafft es die Autorin die Einsamkeit der Protagonistin so eindringlich und berührend zu beschreiben und den/die Leser/in einfach in den Bann von Fuyuko zu ziehen. Besonders spannend fand ich hierbei, dass diese ausgelösten Emotionen beim Lesen total im Kontrast zu der Unemotionalität der Protagonistin stehen, wodurch sie irgendwie intensiviert werden. Die Geschichte von Fuyuko hat mich so mitgerissen, dass ich das Buch gar nicht beiseite legen konnte. Sie war gleichzeitig unvorhersehbar und realistisch. Ich muss das Buch glaube ich erstmal sacken lassen. Richtig richtig toll! Es gibt mehr als 5
