First I genuinely loved the plot of this and I think I'd love it as a movie but there were a few things that didn't sit right writing wise. I just didn't really vibe with the characters and while the dialogue itself was fine a lot of the internal monologue dialogue kinda annoyed me. Don't get me wrong, I love a sex scene in a book but for me there were just too many and they really detracted from the plot unfortunately. But I was invested enough in the story to finish it so I guess that's something. I listened to it on audiobook which was good as there were two different narrators for the two different perspectives which made it easy to follow.

Movie Favorite

"My current favorite Fassbinder film. A love story against all odds—the age difference is quite outrageous. Who would make a film like this now, about an older, somewhat stolid woman who finds unexpected happiness, for a time, with a handsome, younger Moroccan immigrant? Fassbinder walks a tightrope—it feels real and unsentimental, and he doesn’t shy away from cruelty, but he truly earns Emmi’s words to Ali: “Together we’re strong.” I admire the economy of the storytelling. The repetition of scenes (even camera angles)—when Emmi walks into the bar or sits on the stairwell eating her lunch—gives the film a fated quality. And I love the many strange moments when time stands still and everyone just stands there looking!"

I request this book on netgalley and was kindly sent a PDF version. Ohhhh my days! I love this story seriously I have fallen for it. Absolutely head over heels! If you are an Alice in wonderland fan or just a Disney fan you NEED this book in your life! It is completely different from Alice in wonderland and follows a different plot line and that in itself makes it refreshing and something new. New characters pop up through out which had me squealing in delight despite the fact I am 25 and should not be squealing but I did anyway! I really did love this book, and I feel like it's one I shall be re reading time and time again.
