Rezension von AnneThe book had a very slow pacing, which in general I wouldn't mind - if the characters or story were interesting. But to me, both weren't. The book failed again and again to hold my interest and I was not really invested in the story or the characters. So when the twists happened at the end, they had almost no effect on me because I just didn't care. And that's a pity, because I found the themes of the book - love and friendship turning into obsession , the depiction of loneliness and insecurity - quite interesting. So I guess it was just the execution that didn't quite work for me. What I did like was the writing and the overall feeling of the story. I will most probably have forgotten about the characters very soon, but I think the settings and atmosphere of the book will stay with me longer.
