    So süß

    also das hörbuch davpr von ihr gefiel mir ja nur so lala. Aber diese Geschichte! Oh man die war richtig toll und süß und hat total Spaß gemacht, die Charactere waren so verscheiden, interessant und nahbar, es war einfach super toll. Ich hab richtig mitgefiebert und mich aufs happy end gefreut. Am besten gefallen hat mir auch die Tatsache, wie er ihnen hilft sie sich quasi am Ende aber selbst rettet und sie alle elrnen das sie gut sind wie sie sind und wert geliebt zu werden und jeder mal Fehler macht. Hat mir super gut gefallen!

Der Anfang war schwer für mich reinzukommen. Zuviele Charaktere zuviele Namen die ich verwechselt habe. Aber danach als die Reise begann, war ich komplett in der Geschichte. Ich war mit im Auto und habe mich prächtig amüsiert. Jess fand ich teilweise sehr anstrengend, ich habe mit Nicki gelitten. Ich habe nur noch ca. 20% zu lesen und möchte nicht Spoilern aber ich finde das grad sehr spannend. Bin mal gespannt wann jess es verraten wird, dass sie das Geld von ihm gestohlen hatte.
