The book:

Deeply sad, elegant and laconic, blogger, writer and presenter Ronja von Rönne tells the story of two women for whom death appears to be the last resort: an unpredictable, dramatic, inappropriately funny read. Hella, 69, wants to die. In Switzerland, in a hospital. So she sets off. Her old Passat will manage this last journey. But as soon as she hits the motorway, something heavy falls onto the bonnet of her car. Juli, 15, wanted to throw herself to her death from the motorway bridge. Now she is only slightly injured - and gets into the car with Hella. Two women want to die. But do they want to do together what seemed to be their last resort individually?
