Reviewed by KatrinYet another book I had to read for uni. But nonetheless, yet another one I enjoyed reading for most of the time. I liked that the main perspective was not from the sick person but from his sister whom I could relate to so much (especially in terms of family relations!). I would have liked a closed ending more. Also, the story makes you wait for a catastrophe that never happens. This was probably what made me continue reading, but i would have liked it more if something would have actually happened. 4/5 ⭐️
