adventurous emotional hopeful inspiring lighthearted sad slow-paced

I would have liked to give the book more than 4 stars.
First of all, the author went a bit too far with the writing. Don't get me wrong, her writing was great. The thing was that when something happened, she would toss ideas and thoughts into it and would steer a bit away from the plot.
And then she would get back to it, sometimes out of a sudden, which left me a bit confused.
Second of all, apart from my first point, I was also confused about other parts of the book, especially during dialogues. Or maybe it was also the fact that I have read the book in German and it has been a while since I had read a German book.
(Plus, the chapters are a bit too long, 20+ pages)
Despite all the above, I really liked that book (even though, it isn't my kind of genre). The author did mention and question things that take a big part in today's society.
