Rezension von Maria Sehr gutes Buch. Es dauert bisschen bis man mit den Figuren und Zeitsprüngen vertraut ist, aber wenn man sich daran gewöhnt hat, ist es wirklich schön die Geschichte der vier Frauen zu lesen. Der Plot ist gut aufgebaut und die Themen werden sensibel behandelt, was Emilia Hart ja wirklich sehr gut kann. Auch die Sieren-Thematik fühlt sich weder unnatürlich noch gezwungen an. Etwas merkwürdig ist es schon, da das Buch sonst sehr realitätsnah ist, aber es ist eine schöne Ergänzung und sinnvoll eingebaut. Das Einzige was mich stört ist der Epilog bzw. das was mit Mike (dem Vater) am Ende passiert. Ich verstehe nicht ganz, wieso dieses „Geheimnis“ für die Lesenden auch noch gelüftet werden muss, aber in meinen Augen ist es unnötig dieses Fass noch zu öffnen und zu zeigen dass er auch eine fragwürdige Person ist, wenn das Buch eh zu ende ist. Trotzdem würde ich das Buch weiterempfehlen!
