The problem is that this book just didn't make sense it was like an acid trip, and not in a good way. It's also been brilliantly translated from its original German, which helps. I related to it, which is saying quite a lot. I usually hate this "woe is me, I have too much money and too many opportunities" narrative trend in a lot of YA, but Gier strikes a nice balance between Liv's hermitic loneliness and her easygoing nature. This book was a pretty quick, easy read, and the best thing about it is the narrative voice I loved Liv's character, loved her narration, loved her careful balance between dry and joyful. ![]() I thought this book might pull me from my funk, but it was a bust.

Until about May, I was never less than 3 books ahead. ![]() ![]() I've been in a massive reading slump lately, and I've been seriously flagging with my reading challenge, which is disappointing, since I was smashing it for the first half of the year. ![]()
