They also look too alike, almost related for my comfort

Picture of chapter 17: wrong! Hair completely undone. And didn’t she have back hair? Meh :/

Dalia’s picture: I thought she had straight hair? It’s a pretty picture but I thought she had straight hair. Would’ve been so cool if she were to stand next to Liam. Or if she had sunglasses in her hair. Like it would feel more personal.

Also the book description/ blurb is not really fitting
I will need to explore that later

Not the most fitting picture. Actually a picture of nothingness… there should not be one here

Because grief is not and can never be limited to one scene. It’s something that we will always carry. Because when we lose someone, we mourn the life we are now forced to life without them and that doesn’t happen on 1-2 pages. It happens at the most random times. When a strange reminds us of our person in the train. Or when we want to fall asleep but our mind forces us to think about them randomly. = inaccurate

Because if we have the benefit of only one pov and a focalized narrator, shouldn’t we use all the positives of that’s and really hone in on the emotions poor Katie can feel.
„He was my friend“
„And mine“
„And mines“
Where is the impact? Where is the hurting?
Maybe I’ve just lost enough people to know that this is not accurate. Wouldn’t call it a privilege tho

I feel like loss and grief and the experience if loosing someone in battle it just inadequately handled. Losing Jim was like she ironically said oh no. There is no inward sadness. No mourning longer than 1 page. It’s not enough to be realistic.
There are beautiful sentences during the scenes but it’s not enough

Biggest critique: ai pictures

Also: the way some things are written or described or detailed feels magical to me. I love some descriptions dearly. Especially some small ones of feelings
