I personally felt like this book had much more potential than what’s within these pages, it’s just ended and I feel like the author skipped around in parts so you just had to imagine things happening.
I don't have any justification on why I picked this book. Other than absolute impulsiveness.
I also didn't know that this was going to be made into a movie. But I'll surely give that movie a skip if it followed the book.
The blurb was interesting when I read it but in the book it was horrible.
I get that Clara found the texts as a way to grieve and let out her feelings but it took the entire book for Sven to let her know about it. It took them 3/4 of the book to meet each other just for them to be together instantly. The romance wasn't developed and it just clicked too fast between them. I thought there would have been more about Ben's past but it wasn't clear. The pace of this book was way, WAY too slow. I felt like I was just going back and forth between the texts in a chatroom which doesn't need to be so long.
But, it is my first translated book. This book originally came out in German in 2009. And I have null knowledge on anything related to Germany so some of the details were new to me.
I don't even know what is my review about now because I'm that underwhelmed.
