ES WAR SO VERDAMMT GUT!!! 😭 Jennifer Hartmann hat es wieder geschafft, mich komplett zu schocken. Die Charaktere hatten so eine unglaubliche Tiefe und die Story, der PLOT?! Ich war einfach fassungslos, es hat mich so berührt. 🥹 Hier haben wir einen Protagonisten, der fast 22 Jahre lang in Gefangenschaft gelebt hat und es schafft zu entkommen. Es geht viel um Trauma Healing – und die Liebesgeschichte war einfach nur EPISCH.

If you think this is your typical romance book + you are mistaken. There are a bunch of sad traumas innit and a god written (sad and devastating) story. So, please check trigger warnings just in case before reading. So we have Oliver and Syd - basically childhood sweethearts. But... Oliver was held captive for 22 YEARS beneath the floor of his kidnapper’s house and brainwashed into believing an atomic bomb had poisoned the air and the only way for him to be safe is to stay underground. The chapters flip between Sydney and Oliver’s pov in the present day after he escaped, but also in the past while he was held in captivity. OMG THE PLOT TWISTS! I should have realised, I am good at this but this BLOW. MY. MIND I legit had goosebumps while reading a literary a page turner! At the end you’ll find the meaning and importance of the word lotus, and it’s just everything.
