Rezension von Dani SturmEinfach toll! Ich hatte so viel Spaß beim Lesen! First of all: ENDLICH eine dicke Hauptfigur, die auch begehrt wird! Die confident ist! Die Freude am Leben hat! Die ganze Story ist einfach so zuckersüß. Angefangen bei dem Setting des Rollenspiels, bis hin zu den Charakteren, die alle so wahnsinnig viel Tiefe besitzen und man einfach nur lieb gewinnen kann. Eine klare Empfehlung für alle, die eine süße, queere Lovestory lesen wollen mit ganz viel *giggeling and kicking your feet*. Love Love Love!!
Rezension von JanneSo ein tolles Buch mit so schöner, heilsamer Charakterentwicklung. Ich mochte viele Dinge daran aber u.a. auch, dass die pen&paper Runde nicht nur Mittel zum Zweck ist, sondern eine Geschichte in der Geschichte entstehen lässt, in der eben gleichzeitig Möglichkeiten für die Hauptperson offen stehen, die sie sich im echten Leben noch nicht traut.
Rezension von Teresa ReichlWAS EIN LIEBES BUCH ich kann nicht mehr. Alles, was ich als Jugendliche gern gehabt hätte.
Rezension von Lena SchalentierSweet, nerdy baby gays! Wenn man Pen & Paper kennt und mag, ist das sicher nochmal süßer, aber auch so ganz arg sweet.
