Rezension von JosieHab's geliebt. Die Charaktere mit Ecken und Kanten, die Thematik, die Emotionen, den Schreibstil ... Ich glaube, Kathleen Glasgow KANN einfach gar keine schlechten Bücher schreiben. Wie immer: fünf Sterne.
Rezension von Sandy <3I don’t drink anymore but I wish I could give this book to my 15 y/o self
Rezension von Amanda GrafKathleen Glasgow will never disappoint me. I always need a bit time to get used to the characters and to the scene but when I'm 100 pages in the book, I could not put it back. The life of Bella seems so interesting and sad which made me addicted to the plot. There was no immense plot twist or crazy drama happening, just teenagers trying to heal in rehab. I could relate to the characters (not that I'm addicted or anything) and even though the gen z talking was sometimes a bit much, I liked that the book was happening in the present, post covid and that the problems that were cause by covid were also addressed because I know that many people are still struggling to this day from the pandemic. I just love Kathleen Glasgow I read all her books and she or rather her books is like therapy to me.
