Ich mochte es — der Aufbau des Buches ließ mich schon zu Beginn etwas vermuten, was sich am Ende als richtig herausgestellt hatte. Ansonsten habe ich mit der Protagonistin mitgefühlt, da ich mich selbst schon in einer solchen Position befand und war froh über den Ausgang.
Erstmal drüber nachdenken...
Es war in Ordnung, musste mir aber öfters besonders bei der Beziehung von Tori und ihrem Freund an den Kopf fassen. Der Schluss war nicht sehr überraschend,leichte Lektüre für zwischendurch.
“You won’t understand just yet. But when you and Tom get there." I always loved Bourne’s books. Her writing is incredibly realistic and she didn’t shy away from showing an honest portrayal of a deeply dissatisfied woman in her thirties. Tori feels miserable and her inner monologue might seem a bit daunting. The book tackles various topics. It shows how we represent ourselves on social media. Many people pretend to have the perfect life. We all want to feel validated. However, just like it is for Tori, it’s not real for all of us. We all have our personal demons. Thanks to society’s pressure on women to ‘have it all’: the perfect social life, the perfect marriage, and the perfect family. Tori struggles with exactly this kind of pressure. Now that she hit her thirties, she’s the only one who is unmarried and doesn’t have any children. All her friends try to cheer her up, expecting that her life will take a massive turn as soon as Tori’s married and has children herself. Adding to that, she feels very uncomfortable in her body and constantly tries to be the thinnest of them all. Because society dictates that women shouldn’t have a pouch. They shouldn’t have wrinkles. Their thighs shouldn’t be touching. The book is so relevant. But I’m not sure whether I enjoyed it or not. It lacked a real plot and was a bit “meh” sometimes. Yet I still rate it with three stars because of the topics Bourne tackled so well. Because who doesn’t compare themselves to others? Who’s really 100% content with their life?
