Es war echt echt spannend, am Anfang war ich mir unsicher ob das noch gut wird, aber dann wurde es extrem gut 😄👍🏼
kurz vorm Ende war ich kurz enttäuscht, weil ich mir dachte "das war's jetzt? Jetzt ist es vorbei?", aber es war zum Glück nicht vorbei und der Plot Twist war echt krass!

Did not finish book. Stopped at 32%.
Idk, it's not a bad book I guess, but it just absolutely didn't catch me and at one point it didn't interest me at all.
So I had to dnf it

II liked the book very much and it was also very funny, sometimes a little bit absurd, but still funny 😄
But at the beginning it was a little bit confusing and sometimes it's also written in kind of a hard language, so I needed a lot of time to get through the 1st half of the book. Then it got very tense and I got extremely excited for the last part of the book, but when read it, I was like... 😶 At first I thought that I might have overread something or that I might not have understood everything, so I read it again and I did understand everything correctly 🤷🏼‍♀️ That was a little bit disappointing...
In my opinion the last part could have been a lot more tense
and not just Adam talking to the bad guys - I mean, in real life I'm very against any violence, but in books???! I'm not reading  a book about Armageddon so that the last "big fight" isn't a big fight but more of a "big discussion"

I liked this book so so much and I loooved the characters 🥰🥰🥰
And also the writing was nice 😄
But it took me quite long to read, I have no idea why, because it wasn't boring or anything, but it maybe didn't get me as invested, if that makes sense... 
But I really liked it so so much but... It's hard to describe 😩
And if I'm honest, now at the end the bonus-chapter didn't really interest me... But I plan to read it after I've watched the movie 😄

It was so so funny, though it was a little bit sad, that the creator didn't finish it...

3.5

Also ich fand dass das Buch eigentlich bis bei ungefähr 70% sehr langsam voranging und nicht wirklich spannend war... Es war irgendwie noch kein richtiger Krimi... es war schon interessant und man wollte wissen, was schlussendlich jetzt passiert ist, aber... mmmmh.... 😑 Dann der Plottwist am Ende war ziemlich überraschend, also ich hatte die Idee, dass es so sein könnte, aber von der Idee war ich absolut nicht überzeugt und ich hätte nicht gedacht dass sie stimmt, aber Überraschung, es stimmte tatsächlich, was es aber nicht weniger überraschend macht.
Aber der Schluss, musste das sein?!
ich bin immer eher ein Fan von happyends, oder zumindest dass der oder die Schuldige bestraft wird, aber so?! 😨
- deswegen habe ich dem Buch anstatt 4,25 nur 3,5 ⭐ gegeben 😅 Aber der Schreibstil war richtig schön und ich würde das Buch jedem empfehlen, der sich für Schreiben interessiert 😄

I should be able to give this book at least 6⭐ because I loved it so so much and I've never read anything that I liked nearly as much as this book 🤩 I felt so connected to the characters and the story 😍
It's just an awesome book!
