WIESO MICH EIN BUCH ENTTÄUSCHTE - OBWOHL ES FANTASTISCH IST

INHALT Seventeen-year-old Lennie Walker spends her time tucked safely and happily in the shadow of her fiery older sister, Bailey. But when Bailey dies abruptly, Lennie is catapulted to centre stage of her own life – and suddenly finds herself struggling to balance two boys. One boy takes Lennie out of her sorrow; the other comforts her in it. But the two can't collide without Lennie's world exploding...

ERSTER SATZ Gram is worried about me.
For days and days, the rain beat its fists on the roof of our house - evidence at the terrible mistake God had made. Each morning, when I woke I listened for the tireless punding, looked at the drear through the window and was relieved that at least the sun had the decency to stay the hell away from us.

WORDS IN DEEP BLUE



CONTENT Years ago, Rachel had a crush on Henry Jones. The day before she moved away, she tucked a love letter into his favorite book in his family’s bookshop. She waited. But Henry never came.
Now Rachel has returned to the city—and to the bookshop—to work alongside the boy she’d rather not see, if at all possible, for the rest of her life. But Rachel needs the distraction, and the escape. Her brother drowned months ago, and she can’t feel anything anymore.
As Henry and Rachel work side by side—surrounded by books, watching love stories unfold, exchanging letters between the pages—they find hope in each other. Because life may be uncontrollable, even unbearable sometimes. But it’s possible that words, and love, and second chances are enough.
 

FIRST SENTENCE Dear Henry, I'm leaving this letter on the same page as "The Love Song of J. Alfred Prufrock" because you love the poem, and I love you.
Words do matter and they do start revolutions, but you can't eat a revolution. You can't pay the rent with a revolution.

REZENSION / I'LL GIVE YOU THE SUN / JANDY NELSON

INHALT Jude and her twin Noah were incredibly close - until a tragedy drove them apart, and now they are barely speaking. Then Jude meets a cocky, broken, beautiful boy as well as a captivating new mentor, both of whom may just need her as much as she needs them. What the twins don't realize is that each of them has only half the story and if they can just find their way back to one another, they have a chance to remake their world.

ERSTER SATZ This is how it all begins.
Because I can see people's souls sometimes when I draw them, I know the following: Mom has a massive sunflower for a soul so big there's hardly any room in for her organs. Jude and me have one sould between us that we have to share: a tree with its leaves on fire.
