She Drives Me Crazy by Kelly Quindlen

Did not finish book. Stopped at 73%.
The Dnf is a me problem. I just hate the „I can’t get over my Ex“ struggle, trying to make someone jealous after they broke up with YOU and hurt YOU + are manipulating YOU and other people getting hurt in the process, just ahhh. Scottie makes me crazy. I had to stop after chapter 14.

I made a big mistake in reading the German translation. One of the worst translations of a book I‘ve ever read, some of the words the translator chose made me feel really uncomfortable. Felt like an old woman trying to sound young, so it became a weird mix of sounding like a 14 year old while using words only people in their 60s or up use. 

If ur able to read it in English, please do it, so u don’t have to suffer like I did.

The story itself was quite interesting, I‘m thinking of reading it a second time in English and test if I enjoy it more that way.

I never cried so hard because of a book. I know I’m going to reread it times and times over. 

LOVE IT. Best book I read so far this year.
