Was ich euch nicht erzählte by Celeste Ng

bandgeek3997's review against another edition

5.0

I’ve read Celeste Ng’s other novels, but this is my first time reading her debut, and it might be my favorite. I currently work in a small college town in Northwest Ohio where this book is set, so it hits a little close to home. What hit even closer was the realization of how pushing things down and not sharing parts of yourself to those around you leads to mess, confusion, and hurt. It’s a good reminder for me to stop that and start living more authentically.

Unglaublich traurig. Die Geschichte um Lydia und ihre Familie hat mich völlig eingenommen.

Wie schon bei 'Kleine Feuer überall' konnte ich auch dieses Buch einfach nicht weglegen und hab es in 2 Tagen komplett gelesen.

Tolle Autorin für Menschen die gerne dramatische, vielschichtige Familiengeschichten lesen.
