One of my all-time favorite books, beautifully written, devastating, yet full of brightness. A true masterpiece that will live rent-free in my soul forever 🩶🖤
TW: Trauer(Bewältigung), Tod, Suizid Ich weiß gar nicht, wie ich diese Rezension beginnen soll. Ich habe so viel (positives) über dieses Buch zusagen, aber finde nicht die Worte, um meine Empfindungen auszudrücken. Psychische Gesundheit wird ja inzwischen in sehr vielen Büchern thematisiert, aber so richtig gelingt es irgendwie oft nicht. In "All the Bright Places" ist das anders. Die Innensicht auf beide Figuren, Violet und Finch, war so berührend, so ehrlich, so echt. Ich konnte den, ganz unterschiedlichen, Schmerz und die Hoffnungslosigkeit der Figuren spüren und hätte sie am liebsten in den Arm genommen. Hinzu kommt eine schöne, wenn auch traurige Geschichte, in die der Umgang mit Tod und Suizid eingebettet wurde, ein grandioser Schreibstil und trotz der Schwere der Thematik eine Atmosphäre, in die ich doch immer wieder gerne zurückgekehrt bin. Wenn ihr "Nicht weg und nicht da" von Anne Freytag liebt (so wie ich es tue), dann werdet ihr "All the Bright Places" auch lieben. Von mir gibt es 5 Sterne! Das Englisch ist übrigens super verständlich und da ich Teile der Geschichte als Hörbuch gehört habe, kann ich euch auch das sehr empfehlen. Hörbücher auf Englisch sind ein ganz wunderbarer Weg, die Sprache noch intensiver zu lernen und ich kann es euch nur ans Herz legen!
> “Which of my feelings are real? Which of the mes is me? There is only one me I’ve ever really liked, and he was good and awake as long as he could be.” > “‘I’m broken, and no one can fix it. I’ve tried. I’m still trying. I can’t love anyone because it’s not fair to anyone who loves me back.’”
I loved it and cried so much. Like ugly crying. It felt good.
I cried. A lot. And then some more. Recommend.
