Rezension von Vanessa🦋How to End a Love Story is a sweet story with potential, but had a few stumbling blocks for me. The third-person writing style made reading bumpy in places and created a certain distance to the characters. I also found it difficult to get started. For my taste, the dark chapters and the protagonist's difficult back story stood in stark contrast to the sudden transition to the Spice scenes, which felt unbalanced. In addition, I couldn't fully comprehend many of the main characters' decisions, which made it difficult for me to build a deeper connection with them. If you can look past these points, you still get a charming romance with some nice moments. For me, it was okay overall, but not quite perfect.
Rezension von maike.readzDieses Buch hat mich positiv überrascht! Denn es geht viel tiefer als es zunächst den Anschein hat. Uns erwarten zwei sehr sensible und gleichzeitig interessante Protagonisten, die von den Schatten ihrer Vergangenheit durchs Leben begleitet werden. Zusätzlich ist das Thema super interessant. Wir erfahren alles wichtige rund ums Thema eines Drehbuchs. Für mich war das eine ganz neue Erfahrung und es hat mich unheimlich an die Geschichte gefesselt und zutiefst fasziniert ✨ Ich hätte nicht gedacht, dass mich dieses Buch so überraschen würde 💕
Rezension von NehirDie Story hat eigentlich echt vielversprechend angefangen: Zwei Leute, die durch ein schlimmes Ereignis in ihrer Schulzeit miteinander verbunden sind, treffen sich nach 13 Jahren wieder. Sie ist jetzt eine erfolgreiche Autorin, er schreibt das Drehbuch für die Serie zu ihren Büchern – und natürlich müssen sie wieder miteinander auskommen. Dabei kommen nach und nach alte Gefühle hoch, beide haben ziemlich mit ihrer Vergangenheit zu kämpfen, und irgendwie helfen sie sich gegenseitig, wieder ein bisschen heil zu werden. Themen wie Trauer, schwierige Familien und Schuldgefühle werden ernst genommen und gut umgesetzt, was ich echt stark fand. Auch das Setting rund um die Serienproduktion war mal was anderes – super interessant zu lesen, wie so eine Serie eigentlich entsteht. Was mich aber gestört hat: Die Erzählperspektive. Ich bin mit den beiden Hauptfiguren irgendwie nicht warm geworden. Es war, als würde man alles mit Abstand beobachten, statt wirklich mitzufühlen. Das hat’s mir manchmal schwer gemacht, richtig in die Geschichte reinzukommen. Alles in allem: Ein gutes Buch für zwischendurch, mit wichtigen Themen und einer spannenden Grundidee – aber emotional hat’s mich leider nicht ganz abgeholt. Wer aber ruhige, gefühlvolle Geschichten mag, könnte trotzdem Gefallen dran finden.
Rezension von Lara Rollhaus2.5⭐️ the author is very talented and knows what she is doing. Beautiful writing but not my cup of tea. Couldn’t connect to the characters and I got bored sometimes. But I can see why people love the book.
Rezension von Laura SWar leider nicht meins. :( Es gab aus meiner Sicht zu viele unnötige (und auch für meinen Geschmack schlecht geschriebene) Spice-Szenen. Die gesamte Story war vorhersehbar und obwohl versucht wurde tiefgründige Themen anzuschneiden, hat man jedes Mal nur an der Oberfläche gekratzt und dann ist die Protagonistin auch schon wieder weggerannt vom Thema. Auch der Schreibstil in der Erzählperspektive (3. Person, Vergangenheit) hat es mir sehr schwer gemacht eine Verbindung zu den Protas aufzubauen.
