Rezension von KatesBooklights3,5/5 Sterne Dieses Buch zu bewerten, fällt mir sehr schwer. Es gibt Dinge, die ich gehasst habe, es gibt aber auch Dinge, die mich sehr gut unterhalten haben. Grundsätzlich hatte ich beim Lesen absolut keine gute Zeit. Dieses Buch ist harte Kost und man muss sich dessen vor dem Lesen definitiv bewusst sein. Auch danach war ich wirklich schlecht drauf und habe jeden Aspekt meines Lebens hinterfragt. Gleichzeitig schafft die Autorin es, mit einem sehr tollen Stil und geschickt eingehobenem Humor, das Ganze doch irgendwie aushaltbar zu machen. Für mich war dieses Buch der Inbegriff von Zuckerbrot und Peitsche. Und ich bin mir ehrlich gesagt nicht sicher, ob ich es beendet hätte, wenn ich es nicht für meinen Buchclub gelesen hätte. Und gleichzeitig bin ich dann auch wieder froh, dass ich es beendet habe, weil ich sonst das Ende (mochte ich sehr) und das ein oder andere lustige Kapitel verpasst hätte. Ihr seht, ich habe auch eine Woche später noch absolut keine Ahnung, was ich zu diesem Buch sagen soll
