Rezension von Kiwii"If I'd told you I was roadkill on the shower floor you would've shown up with a spatula."
Rezension von akb_booksMochte ich total gerne. Ein ganz toller, super sympathischer MMC. Und eine tolle FMC. Auch die Chemie zwischen beiden und die Entwicklung ihrer Beziehung wirklich toll geschrieben. Ich kann es absolut empfehlen. 🥰
Rezension von „Ready Or Not“ erzählt die Geschichte von Eve, die nach einem One Night Stand schwanger wird und sich auf einmal mit einem Leben konfrontiert sieht, von dem sie lange nicht wusste, ob sie es möchte. Ich finde, dass das Buch vieles sehr richtig gemacht hat und Eves Situation sehr einfühlsam erzählt hat. Ich fand es interessant zu lesen, wie sie sich langsam über die Schwangerschaft und auf das Baby freut. Wie sie mit ihrer Außenwelt und dem Kindsvater umgeht. Wie ihre Sorgen und Ängste dargestellt wurden. Für mich hätte das auch vollkommen gereicht. Die Liebesgeschichte mit dem Bruder ihrer besten Freundin (nicht der Kindsvater, steht aber auf dem Klappentext) hätte ich persönlich tatsächlich gar nicht gebraucht und die fand ich an einigen Stellen leider auch etwas unpassend/nicht gut nachvollziehbar. Dennoch hatte das Buch so viele starke Passagen, hat mich oft auch emotional gemacht und mich wirklich gut unterhalten. Von daher gibt es vier Sterne.
