Description

“Every decent friendship comes with a drop of hatred. But that hatred is like honey in the tea. It makes it addictive.”

Charismatic Marie Antoine is the daughter of the richest man in 19th century Montreal. She has everything she wants, except for a best friend—until clever, scheming Sadie Arnett moves to the neighborhood. Immediately united by their passion and intensity, Marie and Sadie attract and repel each other in ways that thrill them both. Their games soon become tinged with risk, even violence. Forced to separate by the adults around them, they spend years engaged in acts of alternating innocence and depravity. And when a singular event brings them back together, the dizzying effects will upend the city.

Traveling from a repressive finishing school to a vibrant brothel, taking readers firsthand into the brutality of factory life and the opulent lives of Montreal’s wealthy, When We Lost Our Heads dazzlingly explores gender, sex, desire, class, and the terrifying power of the human heart when it can’t let someone go.

Nicht schlecht aber auch nicht gut

Also ich fand es nicht schlecht, aber gut irgendwie auch nicht. Die Geschichte plätschert einfach so vor sich hin, ich fand es gab wirklich kaum einen erkennbaren Höhepunkt. Ich verstehe irgendwie auch die Geschichte bzw. die Dynamiken zwischen den verschiedenen Charakteren nicht. Die Handlungen der Charaktere waren teilweise einfach nur weird und nicht nachvollziehbar. Was genau mir die Geschichte jetzt mitteilen soll bzw. was die Autorin damit ausdrücken will, erschließt sich mir ehrlich gesagt nicht. Also es war okay, aber hat meinen Horizont nicht sonderlich erweitert.

It's nicely written but the story about two girls who treat everyone and each other like shit gets boring fast. George was a nice addition but didn't really matter in the end.

Black haired sociopathic artist × blonde spoiled narcissist

You don't understand how easy I am, give me a black haired and a blonde haired protagonist and I'm all set. It was delightfully messy but also too much information
