Selten ein Buch so verschlungen. Immer wieder überraschende Wendungen und eine dauerhaft gehaltene Spannung. Ist schon etwas her, dass ich es gelesen habe, aber verbinde mit diesem Buch nur positive Erlebnisse. Hat mir in der Abiphase wieder Spaß am Lesen bereitet!
Ich fand es an sich sehr interessant und spannend, aber hin und wieder hat es sich für mich sehr in die länge gezogen.
I love every author that deviates from „Chapter xN [Text]“ Sharpe was capable of writing 7 girls in such different ways yet building on each other in a subtle matter. Nora had a difficult life as the daughter of a con artist. The day of the bank heist becomes the pivot of her revelation. Despite therapy, Nora is not fully healed yet. Sharpe paints a world where this is okay, where Nora finds her own voice even when she thought she already had. Each chapter brings Nora closer to answering "Who am I really?" A suspenseful book about a bank robbery, three teens with a complicated relationship, and abuse.
