Kritikerstimmen

Praise for We Contain Multitudes:
 *"A love story, a therapy session, a reason to read Whitman-the sweetness of unexpected amour is here, as is the saline of sadness...Your reason to root for love-and the power of the pen."
—Kirkus, starred review
*"This is an absolutely extraordinary work of fiction that proves the epistolary novel is an art form. Kurl and Jo are characters to die for, emotionally compelling and empathetic. Their quotidian lives are riveting and their story unforgettable...not to be missed."—Booklist, starred review
"...as a medium for reporting day-to-day occurrences and conveying intimate feelings and classic themes-love, lust, and betrayal, among others-the letters shine."—Publishers Weekly
"...her [Hentra's] skill lies in painstakingly depicting each boy's slow move toward vulnerability until a smoldering, secret romance begins. This exploration of self and sexuality is sure to be quickly embraced by fans of Love, Simon, They Both Die in the End and The Gentleman's Guide to Vice and Virtue"
—Shelf Awareness
"We Contain Multitudes is an emotional journey, both heartbreaking and healing. A true love letter to the way family, friendships, and first loves slowly peel away our carefully constructed walls to the layers beneath. Henstra's words are a universe I never want to escape."

—Julian Winters, author of Running with Lions
"The title of this book is incredibly fitting. Jonathan and Kurl are two complex and fascinating characters, and they instantly drew me into the world created by their letters and their love. It's an astonishing romance and character study that also happens to be full of gorgeous writing."—Robin Talley, author of Lies We Tell Ourselves and Pulp

This is such a great book about two persons who are brave enough to open up to one another, in a way that helps them grow and heal. The other characters in this book are also important, not just there to move the plot along, they are real, with their own obstacles.
I felt with them & I felt my own story.
I started thinking about visiting some of the multitudes I hid somewhere deep within myself.
The language is beautiful too - which makes this book even more beautiful.
I am truly grateful for this book and what it did to/with me.

I cried so hard & laughed in between...

I really loved the book, especially the first half. Ending is good but not up to paar with the rest, but overall a very good story. Both Narrators are very good.

This book wrecked me - in a way that only a book can that is written so beautifully and makes you care so much for the characters that everything that happens to them feels like it is happening directly to you.
One of the saddest, most touching and moving books I have ever read, dealing with heavy topics in an incredibly sensitive, beautiful way while not shying away from exploring them deeply.
