..but that's not the point of the book. We follow the main character Ava as she tries to find herself and her place in Hong Kong while teaching English to children of rich parents. Julian is her situation. He's a banker and he likes to spend money on Ava, as well as have sex with her, tho when she asks for their status he never really says anything. Ava feels stuck in this situation with Julian- that's until she meets edith. Edith is a hong-kong born lawer who take sher out, makes her feel cherished. Leaving both of them unsure if they want to be eachother or with eachother. It's a character driven book and when I read the reviews bevor picking this book I felt like not a lot of people get that. It's okay that not a lot o f things happen- that's not the point.

Gut

Für Sally Rooney Fans genau das richtige. Schreibweise ist ähnlich und auch die Stimmung; es passiert viel, gleichzeitig aber auch nichts besonderes, also ziemlich Realitätsbezogen.
