Explanation Supposing Books Heart's Delight (Hjärtans fröjd)
Before Heart's Delight, I was a boy, he thinks.Before Heart's Delight, I was a child
When he first saw Ann-Katrin on the bus, he was mesmerized, captivated, consumed.
But that was before.
Now he sits alone in his room, a sixteen-year-old boy, waiting for her to call. Wishing for her to tell him it was real. It was as perfect as he imagined.
But the phone sits silently.
The boy continues to wait, systematically destroying all of the objects from their short-lived relationship. He rips up the bus pass from their first meeting.
The phone is quiet.
He throws the pot of lemon balm she gave him over the edge of the balcony.
No phone call.
He tosses the black Frisbee and the Swiss Army knife over too.
Still the phone stays silent.
As he plays their relationship over in his mind like a movie, he wonders: What if his heart's delight doesn't call? Will life be worth living then?

there are very few books that leave me questioning the workings of this world and i'm suspended in the after effects of finishing the last page. "hearts delight" was one of those books. i particularly liked the way this was written, the vocabulary was so simple yet the way the words were expressed was unique. that is a truly commendable thing and hard to accomplish, the same can be said about the story, it was typical enough, boy falls for girl and the problems he then faces, majority of peopleLovely, lovely writing/translation. It reminds me faintly of David Levithan's style, though a bit darker in places. For being a thoroughly realistic novel, it feels very whimsical and charming (when it's not being dark, that is). There's a lot of teen angst, but it somehow manages to be much less irritating than usual.
I loved this book so much. The theme of this book was not falling in love for the first time. Although that is what happened, the theme was falling out of love.I loved how the book had such a startling ending, leaving you wondering whether he was glad that Ann-Katrin called or he was too far into desperation that nothing could change his mind about suicide.This book had just the right amount of graphics to keep things relaxed during some more inappropriate parts.I'm really glad I picked up this
I learned never to put your life after death always remember to not get obsessed with someone you really like. I reccomend this book to teenage girls it was sad a boy likes a girl and she gets a boyfriend and he was thinking about cutting his wrist and taking a bottle of pills
That was just weird. The description sounds cool, and if executed properly it would be, but from the second he starts repeating variations of how "the phone. Is sitting there. Silent," at the end of every chapter, you want nothing more than to slap the author. Hard. This is one of those books where you don't understand why they bothered translating it into another language for publication, because it doesn't work at all.
He was young and in love. I felt his pain. Granted, he was kind of obsessed (picking up her hairs?) but it was sweet (but weird.)The order of the novel kind of confused me, and I still don't really know what exactly happened in the end. But I liked it.
