A powerful story about friendship and family, about being young and sickness

Sebastian should be everywhere, but not in his old childhood room, not in this new development somewhere in Germany. He should be in his shared flat, he should be at university, he should be getting to know other boys together with his best friend Su and simply living. But everything turns out differently: three tumors are in his body, two of them the size of a fist. Chemotherapy has to start as soon as possible and Sebastian moves back in with his parents. A long, difficult time lies ahead for him. But also waiting for Sebastian are his old school friend Jasna, who also lives in the neighborhood again, and Linus, with whom he falls in love. And at the very end of this journey, neither life nor death awaits, because that would be too easy.
Stefan Hornbach presents a stirring debut that tells of existential matters in a way that is so natural and moving that it can only be read very rarely.
