CHAINS: [Don't] let go!
by Johannes Wiedlich
A novel for young adults about friendship and enmity, and how closely allied these two can be. Snow white? What? Bite me! I was expecting idiots, not the blue-haired pestilence. I was expecting conflict, not a battle for my sanity. So what did my past teach me? [Nothing!] Matthew moves into a shared apartment for an exchange semester that couldn't be more annoying. His roommate Sirin turns out to be an obsessive-compulsive domestic dragon already within the first week. You can get along with Robert quite well, but you can't expect any backing from him, and Karla mainly is conspicuous by her absence. But Luka seems the worst. The guy who doesn't follow any pattern, doesn't play by any rules, and obviously enjoys pushing Matthew to his limits repeatedly.
