Rezension von Jessi Das Buch lässt sich gut lesen. Es geht hauptsächlich um die Teenagerin Merit. Diese lebt in einer Familie voller Konflikte. Es werden wichtige Inhalte im Buch behandelt: Suizid und Depressionen, vor allem aber auch, wie wichtig Ehrlichkeit ist. Ich habe Merit über die Handlung hinweg sehr gemocht, besonders die Art, wie sie Dinge oft sarkastisch kommentiert. Ihr trockener Humor macht sie trotz der ernsten Themen sehr sympathisch. Gerade der Sarkasmus wirkt wie ein Schutzschild, hinter dem man jedoch immer wieder ihre Verletzlichkeit spürt. Auch wenn sie manchmal impulsiv handelt, konnte ich mich gut in ihre Gedankenwelt hineinversetzen und habe ihre Ehrlichkeit toll gefunden. Die Handlung ändert sich bis zum Ende des Buches, und man merkt, dass Merits Perspektive total nachvollziehbar ist, die anderen jedoch auch keine schlechten Menschen sind. Ohne zu spoilern fand ich es jedoch schade, dass einige Dinge nicht mehr behandelt wurden, zum Beispiel was mit Sagans Familie, Merits Mutter oder auch mit Honor passiert. (Allerdings habe ich bei Büchern oft das Gefühl, dass einige Handlungsstränge oder Charaktere nicht zu Ende erzählt werden.)
Rezension von Vicky1,5⭐️…i wish i could go back in time and let this book be untouched on my shelf forever
Rezension von Camilleit was kinda meh. it was a wee bit boring. it wasn't bad, just not really my fav CoHo book. luck was funny, but he became a little shady afterwards. i still thought he was funny tho.
Rezension von Jessie BehringerIt was such a quick read and got me out of my reading slump i loved this book but the characters were annoying at the beginning and the family is just really disturbing and the things they did are just crazy. I can’t describe how disturbing that book is coho did it again i felt a roller coaster of feelings reading this book. And I didn’t even have to cry thats the first coho book i read where I didn’t cry but i recommend it and it got 5⭐️ from me!
