Synopsis

»My name is Ari, and this is the story of my first love. It does not go well, I tell you that right away. So if you like happy endings, you prefer to put this away and go buy an ice cream. I honestly don't give a shit." Every day a group of friends meet for skating at the skate park, for Ari, the protagonist, a life-saving activity. She can hardly remember a life without a skateboard. After a moving childhood, she seems content to live alone with her father Bob, with her apprenticeship in a painting company and with her skater buddies who consider her to be "one of the boys". But then a new boy appears at the skate park, the pretty impressive Tom. Tom drove aggressively and very fast, at the same time he stood more naturally on his skateboard than some people on the solid ground. It was pretty impressive, I had to admit. Confidently and without any hesitation, he flipped and turned the board under his feet, everything looked so incredibly easy on him. When Ari's mother comes back to the city, her life is completely turned upside down: is she really happy with the fact that she is always seen as one of the boys? And did her mother deserve a second chance? Eva Rottmann writes empathetically about the ups and downs of teenage life. Tempoic and humorous dialogues, close to the everyday language of teenagers, make you want to read through this book in one go.
