The Kissing Booth #2: Going the Distance

Eins der wenigen Bücher wo ich sagen würde, dass der Film tatsächlich besser war, denn stellenweise wies Going the Distance einige Längen auf. Insgesamt aber war es sehr schön mit Colin, Elle und Noah und sie haben mir schöne lesestunden beschert :)

Am I excited for the movie? Absolutely. Even though this book was downright disappointing? Yes. Every character – except for Rachel, I think – behaved like an absolute shithead. Lee especially disappointed me a lot. Why did he act like an asshole and lied not only to Elle but also to his girlfriend?! Just because he spent time with the football team?!?! Elle broke up with Noah because she thought he’s cheating on her. He spends a lot of time with a girl named Amanda because he’s failing his classes and she’s helping him study. Instead of telling his girlfriend that he’s not doing well with his college classes, he keeps it a secret until the end of the book, where everything is magically resolved because they FINALLY talked to each other about everything! Levi, a new character, was the only one I was rooting for. And I’m disappointed that Elle tried to use him to get over Noah. He deserved better! #justiceforlevi There was no real plot and the book just dragged on. Elle behaved incredibly immature and just whined about everything and everyone. I wasn’t a big fan of the writing either.

Emotionales Auf und Ab genau wie in Band 1!
