Comment:
A completely normal love story that had us completely hooked from the very beginning. […] Anne Freytag’s language is poetic, emotional, moving, but not pretentious. This is […] a novel about how it feels to fall so deeply and passionately in love for the first time that the world suddenly seems different and wonderful. (Arbeitskreis Jugendliteratur)
