I received a free ebook on NetGalley in exchange for an honest review. I wasn't expecting anything going into this book. Some fun, some emotions, nothing major. This book completely blew me away. I binged it in two days and I loved every second of it. Maybe it was cause it reminded me of Slumdog Millionaire and that movie always makes me cry. Mostly it was this amazing story though. This novel tells the story of Felix and his mother Astrid who have to live in a van for months after she loses her job, their flat and all possibility to return to a regular life. The story unfolds over a couple months, shows the different stages of their life in the van and how their situation influences every other part of their life as well. When everything seems hopeless, Felix gets the chance to participate in a popular quiz show and win the money that could lead them back to a normal life. This book is so beautiful. It has fun moments, truly devastating moments and overall never gets boring. The characters are well fleshed out and diverse and were an absolute delight to experience. I would recommend this book to everyone who enjoys these kinds of middle grade contemporary novels with deeper messages. It's a truly important story that actually brought me to happy tears in the end.
