I laughed, I cried and I am ready for the second book. Honestly the writing in this felt so different to anything I've ever read. I think because it is so extremely timely and yet universal. I loved how April was written and how, sometimes in the worst way, relatable she was. I was so frustrated with her for a lot of pages, but somehow in a good way. And the relationships between her and her friends or her parents were so beautifully realistic. I can really recommend this book.

(And how weird is it, that aliens in contemporary books about humans being a humans and how beautiful this is, with a mix of LGBTQ and PoC representation, is a whole thing that we're loving? I'm also looking at you Shaun David Hutchinson)

Ich habe das Hörbuch auf einer langen Autofahrt ursprünglich nur als "Hintergrunddudelei" angemacht, war dann aber so interessiert an der Story das ich es zu Hause noch zuende gehört habe.

Eine leichte und typische post-apocalypse Handlung die aus der Sichtweise von zwei Charakteren erzählt wird.
Mich hat besonders die Idee von "Verschmelzungen" gepackt, das hat der Story ein gewisses Etwas verliehen.

Insgesamt einfach eine nette Geschichte.
Um auch die Fortsetzungen zu hören/lesen hats aber nicht gereicht.

4.5 Stars!

My favorite book from the series (so far) ! I loved Lundy as a character so so much. The whole story was beautifully written and I especially liked the narration through out the Book. There was a feeling of nostalgia and melancholia underlying the whole story which I loved.

Reread a year later and I enjoyed the story and especially the characters even more than the first time ✨✨✨
