Bailing on this one, just very info-dumpy and the humor is not landing. #hailthebail #doublespin off the TBR

This is an adorable book in which nothing really happens. It might have irked me at another point. But for now it was a welcomed cozy read.

This is probably my most reread book of the past few years. This time I‘m facilitating a book club discussion on it. I am really looking forward to discussing it and seeing everyone‘s takeaways.

One of the most beautifully written stories I have read and now in my top 3 books. It‘s about the loneliness, and love between two men on the 80‘s in Europe during the aids crisis. It stands tall with Baldwin and is haunting knowing the author‘s life was also cut short. A tragedy for literature.

3.5⭐️/5⭐️

I am torn. I loved the first 2 sections of this. I really loved the writing, the characters were varied and believable. But (like Audition) I get to the 3rd part and my brain had trouble switching gears to new MCs. I still loved the writing and thought it was interesting, but I was fairly distracted by it. And in the end I think it is a bit (maybe 100pgs) too long. So it is a soft pick. I will for sure read more from him. Hopefully more focused.

I didn't read much of the blurb around this and so went in almost blind.
I found the story line very readable, it kept me guessing and imagining all the way through. I liked how self punishing Isa could be, her determination to simply not have fun yet her curiosity about those that do.
The brothers are really rounded characters and I liked the small amount of background we learnt. Eva was awesome! The history was unknown to me and very sad.

Entertaining! A refreshing take on the Cinderella story, with a strong heroine. Another excellent choice for #SundayBuddyRead with @TheBookHippie
