pickNeeded about 50 pages to really get into this but then suddenly all – the story, the characters, the writing style – fell into place and got me hooked. So many issues (siblings, coming of age, neighbourhood, community) are artfully woven in so that my interest never decreased.
The end was very surprising. Never had expected that.
I hope that more of Kate de Goldi‘s books will be translated because it‘s no typical children‘s/young adult‘s book.

Sunday morning reading in bed. 😍
With the coffee my significant other just brought me. (Big love – for in-bed-reading, my significant other and him bringing me coffee to my bedside. 🥰)
Meanwhile the book has me hooked. At first Barney and Ren were too precocious for me but by now there are so many vivid strands that they grew into the plot. (May sound strange but that‘s how I feel.)
Thanks @vumblereads for posting this quiz:

Additionally: Funny that we “are” the same book. Have you already had the time to read “The Hitchhiker‘s Guide to the Galaxy”❓ I agree with @wanderinglynn that it‘s a great book/series and definitely worth a read.
“Still” not completely cheering this one.
The characters until now seem a bit too much over the edge to come off as nerdy in a lovely way. Reminds me of these “Gilmore Girls” episodes where the producers at all costs tried to create a weird but lovable city – but then Stars Hollow in the end of the episode ended up being ridiculous, absurd and implausible.
I know I put it on my wish list – but I‘m a bit sceptical. The story sounds weird and not like something I‘d like to read now. But I remember putting it on my wish list because someone told me that the books from the publishing company „Königskinder“ are worth it.
Additionally my significant other has drawn it out of my sub blindly so no more beating around the bush. ??♀️
