Unmögliche Figur macht es unmöglich
Bewertet mit 1 Sternen
I just found out why Chelsea Sedoti sounded SO familiar! Netgalley kindly approved me for her debut "the hundred lives of Lizzie Lovett" prior to this book. Guess I'm really into her topics. In this case I also loved the bookcover and, true, with the title was hoping for a princess bride reference. The premise of the book is wonderful. Anti hero main character, a place were you can make wishes on your 18th birthday and they come true. I'm sold. Also that bookcover. As this is supposed to be a honest review I have to admit that I haven't finished it. Eldon was not my cup of tea, I couldn't sympathize with him at any point ( and I don't care how hot he is ) so I didn't really care about him. As his friends don't him like as well, I guess I'm in good company. Maybe Sedoti was aiming at this, for the reader not to like him. Tsiolkas does this brilliantly, but Sedotis isn't a good enough writer for a stand like that. So conclusing, I have to read way to many books to spend too much time on titles that don't flash me enough... No hard feelings, yeah?! PS: Please compliment the arts departement on the cover. It's a highlight!
