Faschismus! Super spannendes Thema, vor allem der schnelle Anhang den die Bewegung bei den Schüler*innen gefunden hat. Auch die komplexe Familiendynamik der Billings (insbesondere Robert als "Enttäuschung" und dass ihm wahrscheinlich sehr bewusst ist wie seine Mutter über ihn redet). Die ganze Zeit der Legende des großen Bruders nachzueifern und die Realisation, dass man niemals die Erwartungen erfüllen kann (💔).
Sehr süß wie Davids Skeptik an die Welle erst angefangen als es ihn dazu bewegt hat Laurie zu verletzen (muss ja also so out-of-character sein, dass er seine gesamte Überzeugung und die Worte seiner Freunde/Mr. Ross hinterfragt).
Generell Laurie ♡♡♡♡ so eine süße, poltisch korrekte Maus♡.
Fand das Ende bisschen abrupt und irgendwie unvollständig. Das letzte Kapitel hat die ganze Zeit zu der Schlussrede als Klimax hingespielt und die Spannung aufgebaut und dafür war es low-key enttäuschend. Trotzdem solides Buch (für den Deutschunterricht.)

advertised as an "actually easy to read classic", which it isn't (as a non-native English speaker) and too boring in the beginning for me to want to continue it. Maybe I'll get back to it, though?

Overall a ⭐4.25!
Ugh. This is my 3rd time writing this. I'm going to cry. Also this may contain spoilers because I am incapable of determining what a spoiler is because even the back of the book is a spoiler for me. Just a heads up!!
It's currently 2:08 am and I'm sitting on my bathroom floor writing this review to an audiobook I just finished because I have insomnia :) ! Here are my thoughts:
- Alex, never have I ever was a bitchy move. Also, Molly, I love you girl <333 (btw this is the only thing I actually wrote down in my notes app, the rest is a fresstyle; forgive me. Also Molly is so relatable I hate it (read love it but I am scared of my own feelings))
- Valerie or whatever the f her name is is so annoying like the whole 'i-stuck-with-you-even-though-you-have-baggage-and-trauma-that-is-100%-not-your-fault-so-you-OWE-ME-to-stick-with-you' -spiel is so manipulative I'm literally gonna throw up
- John? Jon? Is that his name? (I'm terrible with names, in case u haven't noticed by now. Like, literally, Ur took me like 8 chapters to remember Alex's name and it's fucking basic) Jon is fucking great. He's a grumpy sweetheart and I love him til death. <3333
- Alex's mom Character development???? Fuck yeah. I'm here for it.
- I'm kind of sorry for the other chick. The art gallery one. Something with a c. I think it has 4 letters. She shares a name with someone and I couldn't find any fucking fanart on Pinterest which is disturbing. Anyway, like, yes she wasn't what Molly had expected but like I don't think that's her fault??? Unless I'm completely missing smth. Poor girl. She'll be fine though
-NATALIE. rockstar chicks name is Natalie :)
-UHHH MOLLY AND ALEX ARE SO CUTE IM LITERALLY GONNA CRY. I love them <3
Yay, book rant .
