Das Ende ist sehr unbefriedigend. Und dadurch wird das Buch in seiner Gänze irgendwie gut, es zeigt den kontinuierlichen Kampf ums überleben und wie kleine Gewinne im Leben für den nächsten Tag eine Realität sind, die Alex lebt. Langfristige Lebensplanung und große Ziele gibt es nicht, kann es gar nicht geben.

Things happened but nothing changed. This was more of a character study than a novel tbh.

A delectable train wreck that I could not put down. Gobsmacked at the sheer audacity of protagonist Alex and the way she both floats and jackhammers through life.
