Rezension von Joanne20.10.25 I’m sorry, but I’m watching the series right now and I’m wondering if I was just blind or incompetent when I read the book. Or is it actually possible for a series to be that much better than the book. I’m bawling my eyes out over here.
Rezension von Laura☕️Das Buch, was am längsten auf meinem sub gechillt hat & das zu Unrecht!! Es ist definitiv ganz anders, als ich erwartet hatte. Es ist keine klassische Liebesgeschichte. Das englisch ist relativ simpel & für Einsteiger:innen geeignet. Was ein bisschen schwierig war, es gibt keine Anführungszeichen oder Absätze für Gespräche. Daran musste ich mich erstmal gewöhnen. Das Buch erzählt für mich unterschwellig so viel. Es geht um Freundschaft (auch toxische Freundschaft), Liebe und Loyalität. Ich glaube, dass sich viele mit diesen Themen identifizieren können. Bitte lest aber auch die Triggerwarnungen, weil es an einigen Stellen brutal wird (auch verbal). Ein große, positive Überraschung für mich & daher eine große Empfehlung!🥰
Rezension von Rainbow SugarplumDas Buch blieb leider hinter meinen Erwartungen zurück, weil ich keine richtige Verbindung zu den Charakteren gespürt hab. Zwar finde ich interessant, wie das Thema Abhängigkeit in Beziehungen behandelt wurde, insbesondere was das Sexleben von Marianne angeht. Allerdings wurden entscheidende Momente ihrer Emanzipierung nicht erzählt oder für meinen Geschmack zu sehr auf den Partner ausgelagert. Außerdem wiederholen sich immer wieder die gleichen Konflikte, wodurch sich die Charakterentwicklung zu sehr im Kreis dreht und mich in Mariannes Fall auch einfach etwas enttäuscht. Das mag zwar realistisch sein, ist aber auch nervig und schade. Den Schreibstil fand ich trotz des Verzichts auf wörtliche Rede nicht hinderlich, der Geschichte zu folgen. Einige Formulierungen haben mir sogar richtig gut gefallen. Insgesamt daher für mich, mittelmäßig spaßig zu lesen.
Rezension von started off strong with potential. but then really quickly i got kind of bored (felt too superficial and there is no real plot) and couldn't really connect with the story and the characters (very unfortunate). in a way i could see why people love this book so much. but when i tried to take a closer look at it, it ran like water through my hands, impossible to catch. the writing style though was really special, simple and real yet somehow incredibly beautiful and delicate. there were definitely some passages that stood out to me.
Rezension von lea rotheein langweiliges, langatmiges und mühsames buch, das man auf ein viertel kürzen könnte! habe auf die pointe gewartet - leider vergeblich!
