Rezension zu „How the Light Gets in “
"Expect to be blow away." (Guardian) "The best book I read this year... Brilliantly written." (Scotland on Sunday) "Tells of teen anguish in a world that treats such anguish as a crime. Unlike Mean Girls, Hyland's novel doesn't borrow from romantic comedy to dab out the ugliness of adolescence." (Time Out New York) "[Hyland] brings the long-forgotten teenage sensation of drowning in life's uncomprehended complexities horribly alive." (The Times)"
