Die Liebe in schwierigen Zeiten. "Gefühlvoll und beeindruckend." Stern PULITZER PRIZE FINALIST NATIONAL BOOK AWARD SHORTLIST AUSGEZEICHNET MIT DER ANDREW CARNEGIE MEDAL  AUSGEZEICHNET MIT DEM LOS ANGELES TIMES BOOK PRIZE  NEW YORK TIMES 10 BEST BOOKS 2018 Chicago, 1985: Yale ist ein junger Kunstexperte, der mit Feuereifer nach Neuerwerbungen fu¿r seine Galerie sucht. Gerade ist er einer Gemäldesammlung auf der Spur, die seiner Karriere den entscheidenden Schub verleihen könnte. Er ahnt nicht, dass ein Virus, das gerade in Chicagos "Boys Town" zu wu¿ten begonnen hat, einen nach dem anderen seiner Freunde in den Abgrund reißen wird.  Paris, 2015: Fiona spu¿rt ihrer Tochter nach, die sich offenbar nicht finden lassen will. Die Suche nach der Tochter gestaltet sich ebenso zu einer Reise in die eigene Vergangenheit, denn in Paris trifft sie auf alte Freunde aus Chicago, die sie an das Gefühlschaos der Achtzigerjahre erinnern und sie mit einem großen Schmerz von damals konfrontieren. "Die Optimisten ist eine zutiefst bewegende Geschichte daru¿ber, wie Liebe uns retten, aber ebenso vernichten kann, und wie uns traumatische Ereignisse ein Leben lang prägen können, bis Heilung möglich wird. "Sehr liebevoll und schön geschrieben." Elke Heidenreich "Toll geschrieben! Ein Buch, das einen nicht loslässt." NDR

Very detailed! Beautiful world building! Strong Heroine!
Format: Kindle
Starts off a little slow and confusing with different POV’s, but starts to all come together towards the middle to make an elaborate plot line and makes it all worth it. Beautiful world building and attention to detail as well as great writing. The cliffhanger was gut wrenching! Can’t wait for the next book!

Interesting
Format: Kindle
This was a very captivating book once you got into it thoroughly. But the third person perspective was a bit hard to get used to. But as you got into it and followed the different characters, it was interesting and filled with intrigue, conflict and forbidden love. I can’t wait to read the next one and to complete the series.

Great start
Format: Kindle
I loved this book! It's funny but still deals with tough themes, like chronic illness, a serial killer on the loose, and a dash of self-harm. The guys are interesting and distinct, we don't know too much about them yet. It does end on a really terrible cliffhanger but on the bright side the next book is out and I believe the series is complete. I have enjoyed both of these authors separately and this is a great team up!

Fudge!
Format: Kindle
Titles aren’t my strong suit. Sorry not sorry. That ending has me completely frustrated book two isn’t out yet. Just throwing that out there. First thing first, this is a high school book where the lead is under 18. Yea yea she’s about month from being an adult, but I can’t say I would’ve even opened the file if I’d realized. It’s not a smut fest or anything, but there is sexual tension as each party figures out their emotions. That being said, it’s a good book. There are some troubling parts, like how the supes come into their powers at 13, but most of those are dealt with in a way that makes sense. Kian is the exception. His whole arc pisses me off, especially since no one stepped in. Reflecting back on real world situations, ten or so years ago, I can see it happening, but it still makes me sick. Which, I’m sure was the whole damn point. For the most part, Courting Darkness is a fun read. I found myself laughing along with most of the set up. By the time it started getting serious, I’d grown to like the characters enough it held an impact. I’ll be adding book two to my list for when it comes out.

Intriguing
Format: Kindle
An intriguing story that played out slowly while introducing some unique characters. The story became quite fascinating to read as these same characters provided startling revelations to their lives. As their relationships evolve, more drama and mystery is revealed adding to my fascination. I can’t wait to read more.
