I read a book today that I bought because I really liked the cover: "Auerhaus" by Bov Bjerg.
It was a quick and easy read, I liked the writing style. I guess that's how an 18 year old guy would tell his story.
It fits in the following Bingo Squares:
Card 1 - Mix and Match: no fit
Card 2 - Random: "Book with a red cover"
The cover is a reddish orange with white drawings of a raincloud and a cloud that covers the sun. I like that the square is about the cover because this is the main reason I noticed that book.
The cover is much cuter than the story itself which is about six friends in their last year of school who live together in a house. Because their (German) neighbours misunderstood the title of "Our House" by Madness is the reason why their home is called "Auerhaus".
Card 3 - Serious: "Book where main male and female characters don't fall in love"
Yes, the first person narrator and one of the girls are together when they move into the house, but they rather fall out of love in the end. Other characters have sex with each other, but this or love-relationships are not the main focus in the book. It's about friendship and about reasons to live or not, about the time in your life when you don't know what you want to become and are more sure about what you don't want.
