Rezension von Sophie BuddeThis book was different to what I normally read. It was a story about grief and friendships between different generations. I really enjoyed the grandmas POV as she was really likeable and funny. Overall, I had a great time reading it!

Rezension von mineandotherstoriesIch mochte die Geschichte richtig gerne. Sowohl Eileen als auch Leena waren sehr liebenswerte Protagonistinnen, die jeweils auf ihre eigene Art versucht haben mit einem schweren Verlust umzugehen. Vor allem die charakterliche Entwicklung der beiden hat mir total gut gefallen. Mein persönliches Highlight war jedoch das Kleinstadt Feeling und die dazu gehörende Dorfversammlung, der Dorftratsch und allgemein die Nachbarschaft

Rezension von BettinaEin Buch fürs Herz. Ein so tolles Buch, voller warmer, toller Charaktere. Ein richtiger Wohlfühlroman, in dem alles einfach passt. Ich hätte es nicht gedacht, aber ich bin mehr als begeistert! Und kann die Lobesgesänge auf diesen Roman total nachvollziehen. Und stimme ein :).
