Reviewed by Tamara I‘m left absolutely speechless by this book! Couldn’t put it down, would 100% recommend reading!
Reviewed by VeraKein leichtes Buch, etwas verstörend, erschreckend aber auch spannend.
Reviewed by Franzi99Yesteryear regt aufjedenfall zum nachdenken an! In dem Roman werden viele wichtige Themen (Tradwives, starre Geschlechterrollen, Family Content, postpartale Depression, etc.) angesprochen und auf eine spannende Weise kritisiert. Es war faszinierend, wie im Verlauf der Geschichte die Fassade immer weiter bröckelt und welche Abgründe sich auftun, wenn jemand unbedingt erfolgreich sein will (wobei das der Vielschichtigkeit der Protagonistin nicht gerecht wird). Die Auflösung am Ende habe ich nicht erwartet. Auch die Charaktere sind gut geschrieben. Sie haben tiefe, sind unsympathisch (nicht alle, aber viele) und gleichzeitig mitleidserregend.
Reviewed by chiara 🌼brilliant book! not sure what to think about the ending. maybe it’s not entirely realistic but it does make sense? in its own way
Reviewed by Pia✨Verwirrend aber spannend und ein unerwartetes Ende. Regt zum Nachdenken an.
