2,5 stars.

It was enjoyable - it wasn't terrible, but it wasn't great either. There were WAY too many characters for my liking and they were all over the place. Some of the characters' stories weren't even relevant or exciting to me. Some were and that's what made it worth those 2,5 stars. Also, the plot twists were quite predictable. There was a bit of racism and sexism here and there, too, and I'm not a big fan of that.

I hesitated to put 2 or 3 stars, but I chose to put only 2 (we'll say 2.5 lol) because I was pretty disappointed about the story between Julie and Martin, he never knew who the girl really was and I wish they could have see each other face to face !! Also, some stories were not really interesting compared to others, they didn't bring much to the intrigue, like Lukas and Nadia. (I'm french, hope my english isn't that bad lol)

Der er bare et eller andet helt specielt ved at læse om personer og steder som man kender fra sit virkelige liv. MEN jeg vil dog gerne slå et slag for, at ikke alle folk fra Hirtshals er så mentalt forstyrrede som Nicklas er ;I

[Johanna Rosenbaum]

Viel zu viele Charaktere.

Honestly, this book had no direction and while some stories were engaging, the author continued to tell the boring ones.

Blink er en kærlighedsroman splittet op i en masse selvstændige kapitler, der ikke direkte hænger sammen med hinanden. Det er en kakofoni af stemmer, der hen ad vejen fletter sig sammen til en samlet fortælling.

Vi følger 19 forskellige unge mennesker og deres kærlighedsliv. Det er alt fra hemmelige forelskelser, besættelser, spirende forelskelser, kontrol, flirt, afvisninger og tiltrækninger. Handlingen foregår i Hirtshals, Viborg, Møn, København, Odense og alle steder mellem der. De unge mennesker bevæger sig rundt i landet og undervejs krydser deres veje hinanden, så noget af deres fortælling bliver fælles.

Det er en eksperimentel ungdomsroman, hvor hvert kapitel skifter mellem personer, handling og sted. Ideen er spændende, men jeg synes ikke helt, romanen kommer i mål. Der er for mange huller, historier, der ikke bliver afsluttet og handlinger der bliver for forcerede.

Det er ikke Mette Finderups stærkeste roman, men den er alligevel læseværdig.

Not really my genre. SUPER confusing until the last few chapters. There were many points in the book where I was bored with it, and some of the stories didn't seem to fit in or have any relevance to the story. The plot twists were quite predictable and the ending was... weird, to say the least.

The first 50 pages it went really slow and I was afraid I would stop reading or would be disappointed if I finished it. So I looked on the internet and since the book had quite good reviews and ratings, I read further. And I'm glad I did it! After the first half part of the book, it's really going fast. There is action, love, tension... I couldn't put it down by then, and an extra is that the story is totally not predictable, I like that!

I also liked that at the beginning it seemed to be different stories ( what I disliked), but in the end all the caracters has something in common and come together. I din't found it so hard as other people to follow the new names. The only thing that bothered me was some use of language , sometimes just too romantic or so.

J'ai eu peur de ne pas trouver de fil rouge au début du roman, où se succèdent des instantanés de vie d'adolescents danois, mais heureusement tout se rejoint à un moment ou un autre de la lecture. Je ne dis pas le contraire, c'est parfois un peu déroutant et j'ai eu du mal à recadrer certains protagonistes.
Ce sont des histoires de rencontre, d'amitié, d'amour, de tromperie, de fuite de jeunes gens de 17-18 ans, sur fond de charme nordique, ce qui est toujours dépaysant.
Je ne sais pas ce que je retiendrai de ce rendez-vous, mais j'ai passé quelques heures de lecture agréable et j'en suis heureuse. Pour un moment bulle décomplexant.

Vi følger tolv forskellige personer, hvis historier vikler sig sammen i et avanceret net, hvor nogle kender nogle, og andre ser hinanden. De næsten novelleagtige historier gør, at bogen holder spændingen og tempoet, men man alligevel lærer karaktererne at kende og ser kærligheden blomstre — sommetider på de mest uventede steder.

at first I really liked it, but then I really didn't.

It would be such a good book if it had another 200 pages. I mean. All the different stories were extremely good and I loved reading every single one of them. But there's not one story that had a proper ending. Almost all of them were in the beginning very detailed en very well written, but suddenly it was like the author didn't enjoy it anymore? All the stories have an unfinished/crappy ending in my opinion. Even Amanda's and Kasper's one, which was the only story that had kind of an ending. I am really confused, very pissed but most of all just dissapointed, because I would die to see all the endings to all the beautiful stories.
