I’d say ToG and CC are my absolute favourites when it comes to fantasy books. I tried reading ACOTAR 4 years ago, during CC hangover after the second book… And it was soo hard for me to get through it. It might have been because of my expectations but the main character felt really boring and lacked personality comparing to Aelin or Bryce:/ i didn’t finish the first book. Now I’m getting close to the final of ToG and I see the post-ToG depression coming. Should I give ACOTAR another chance?

I'm looking for a movie (might be German) I watched around 2010. It opens with a narrator explaining how heartbreak changes with age. A little girl cries over a boy, and the narrator says that when you're little, a doll can comfort a broken heart. Then the story jumps to when she's about eight years old. A boy is playing marbles, and the narrator says something like: "At the age of eight, boys' lives are ruled by marbles” and then „A doll can't comfort you anymore." Then it jumps to the protagonist as a goth/emo teenager/young adult with black hair and heavy eye makeup with a group of alternative friends. I remember her saying about herself and her friends that they’re ugly and seemed very insecure/depressed. The movie had a very bleak, adult, psychological tone. I’ve been looking for it foe years and still no results… any ideas? :’)
