pickThis is a short coming of age novel of a Swiss author. It is written in a fast paced stream of consciousness style and talking about an outsider meeting another (non outsider, jock) teenager with the same family problems. Both of them are not sure what to make of it. The book definetely portays the life of teenagers well.
I can see you. You‘re running up the stairs. Slamming the door. Thewoing yourself on the bed. Head under cushion, hands on the ears.
Nevertheless you can still hear your parents. Even as they fall silent and this depressing silence takes over the house. (…) But in your head they are still arguing. In your head you can hear the voices. Like an echo that doesn‘t die away.
