Rezension von SophieSehr bewegende und düstere Geschichte. Eine Mischung aus "die Wand" und "die Straße"....
Rezension von Lucy SkyDer Titel und dass das Buch, besonders auf social media, als feministisch kategorisiert wird, ist super irreführend. Dadurch bin ich mit einer gewissen (ganz anderen) Erwartungshaltung rangegangen. Ich wünschte auch, ich hätte das Vorwort als Nachwort gelesen. Finde das enthält schon so viele Spoiler. Das und die Einordnung darin wäre am Ende besser platziert. Abgesehen davon hat mir Buch gut gefallen. Die Zeit ist schnell vergangen. Ich habe so viele unterschiedlichen Emotionen durchlebt - immer zwischen Hoffnung und Hoffnungslosigkeit. Beendet habe ich das Buch mit mehr Fragen als Antworten - und genau das ist der Kern des Ganzen.
Rezension von Sofiamehr philosophische Diskussion als feministische Dystopie. Fand es aber trotzdem sehr interessant!
Rezension von Tati ✨„My memory begins with my anger.“ Es war überraschend gut. Ich bin mit keinen großartigen Erwartungen daran gegangen, fand lediglich den Klappentext interessant. Aber es war so gut, dass ich es in einem Rutsch durchgelesen habe.
Rezension von raniareally good book! it can feel a bit repetitive at times but i think that’s intentional and was needed as it reinforces the “child’s” feelings and life circumstances
