I wish I could upload images or videos bc I would put the time-lapse of me SOBBING while reading the last 50 pages as my review.

I thought I wouldn’t be that into this book as the format is kinda weird but it’s actually impressive. I lowk got so used to it so quick and ended up LOVING the sparse format. What’s crazy is how Crossan managed to It pack such a punch with less words than other books use. This story wormed its way into my heart I fear.

Sehr schön geschrieben. Es besteht durch das ganze Buch eine Spannung durch die Unsicherheit über den Ausgang. Hat mich zudem aus meinem Reading-Slump befreit :)
