I just noticed it was published in Nov of 2019. That's too recent.

And if it helps I remember that them cleaning a wall in detention played an important role in the plot, that's where their relationship develops.

[Salma]

I think they were a "good girl" and "bad boy"

[Salma]

You're Welcome Universe? I haven't read it, though.

[Salma]

Nope not that one

[Salma]

I found it ! Some of the details I wrote in here were wrong though. The language is German and the story is set in Hamburg in Germany.
If anyone is interested it's called "Für dich soll's tausend Tode regnen".

Glad you found your book, Salma. Here's the link - Für dich soll's tausend Tode regnen by Anna Pfeffer.
