Rezension von JuliaOh am Anfang war ich so verknallt in dieses Buch. Ich wollte über die Idee, Dating als Spielprinzip darzustellen, sprechen. Über die philosophische Schwerkraft der Frage, wann es endlich mal gut genug ist und man sich zufrieden auf der Couch niederlassen kann, ohne das Gefühl vielleicht im Leben irgendwann eine falsche Abzweigung genommen zu haben und deswegen nun am metaphorischen falschen Ort gelandet zu sein. Über all diese Ehemänner, die da im endlosen Reigen vom Dachboden steigen. Der humorvolle Ton der pessimistischen, vielleicht auch misanthropischen Erzählerin kontrastierte dazu wunderbar. Sie kann kaum glauben, was ihr hier passiert, ist aber bereit die Möglichkeit aus dem Vollen zu schöpfen. Zwar trug mich meine Euphorie nicht bis zum Ende (das ich okay fand, aber… naja ich will nichts spoilern) und einige Stellen waren so cringe, das ich sie überblättert habe, aber das Buch ist originell, gut zu schmökern und eignet sich für alle, denen Midnight Library zu schwülstig war. „For a while she wanted to be married, but not for the wedding, just for the certainty. Just for the feeling of a mind made up. She wanted to know that if something went wrong her first thought would be How can I fix this? and not Should I leave?“
