Ich habe erst kürzlich gemerkt, dass ich das Debüt von Taylor Jenkins Reid nie gelesen habe. Bisher mochte ich ihre Werke sehr und war sehr gespannt auf Forever, Interrupted. Die Geschichte hat mich nicht enttäuscht. Ich bin durch die Seiten geflogen, war traurig, habe gelacht und hätte gerne noch mehr über Elsie und ihren Weg gelesen. Ein für mich sehr emotionales Buch, welches über Verlust, Trauerbewältigung und Beziehungen spricht. Ich konnte mich so so gut in Elsie hineinversetzen, als sie über ihre Wut und Trauer gesprochen hat. Die Art und Weise wie die Autorin es schafft, einen Buchcharakter so lebendig zu beschreiben hat mich bisher schon immer fasziniert. So mochte ich wirklich jeden Gedankengang von Elsie, ob dieser logisch war oder nicht. Was mir besonders gefallen hat war die Beziehung zur Schwiegermutter. Diese Verbindung von kinderlosen Mutter und Mutterlosem Kind fand ich grandios, vorallem jetzt wo ich selbst Mutter bin, keine Mutter mehr habe, aber immer eine sehr gute Beziehung zu meiner Mutter hatte. Dieses Buch hat etwas mit mir gemacht und ich empfehle es so gerne weiter!
