About the book

When Yuko Moriguchi's four-year-old daughter died in the middle school where she teaches, everyone thought it was a tragic accident.

It's the last day of term, and Yuko's last day at work. She tells her students that she has resigned because of what happened - but not for the reasons they think.

Her daughter didn't die in an accident. Her daughter was killed by two people in the class. And before she leaves, she has a lesson to teach...

But revenge has a way of spinning out of control, and Yuko's last lecture is only the start of the story. In this bestselling Japanese thriller of love, despair and murder, everyone has a confession to make, and no one will escape unharmed.

    Gelungene Revenge Story! 🥛

    — Was erwartet euch? Wie man dem Klappentext bereits entnehmen kann: eine Revenge Story, und zwar eine richtig gute! Die Handlung hat ein gutes Tempo und wird in einer interessanten Weise (verschiedene Medien) erzählt. Die sechs Kapitel liefern jeweils immer eine andere pov, welche der Geschichte immer weiter an psychologischer Tiefer verleihen. Es werden Themen wie Erziehung, Mobbing, Krankheit und Gewalt unter die Lupe genommen. Daher würde ich das Buch auch als Drama/Thriller Mix beschreiben. 🥀 ⠀ — Das Ende ist wild. Ich jab die ganze Zeit überlegt was Moriguchi letztendlich tun wird und konnte es dennoch nicht erraten. 🔪 ⠀ — Mehr will ich jetzt auch gar nicht verraten, denn man sollte am besten unvorbereitet in dieses Buch gehen und es einfach auf sich wirken lassen. Mich konnte es zum größten Teil überzeugen. 𝐁𝐄𝐖𝐄𝐑𝐓𝐔𝐍𝐆: 4 / 5 ✨️

    Well…..Let’s start with writing  style. This book it’s not written like any other book that you would pick up it seems like since it originally was in Japanese that something went wrong with the whole translation and I feel like this book shouldn’t even be translated at all because that made the whole writing and understanding of the book really hard for me.  Also, the story seems a little bit weird because the point of view is from the teacher and a couple  chapters are really really long which is also something that normally isn’t the case and I feel like this is because of the translation because  the book would have been not translated and stayed in Japanese it would be easier to understand then actually doing the work of a translation that breaks down the whole book content. I did not really enjoy this book due to the writing style being really messed up. I pushed through it just because I really heard good stuff about this book but turns out that it’s not for me simply just not a book for me

    OMFG

    Nur 6 Kapitel, aber jedes hat es definitiv in sich. Einfach nur krass und so gut durchdacht. Ich bin schockiert und werde noch lange darüber nachdenken
