Paul commits suicide. His family, friends, and the rest of his surroundings must cope with it. The novel by Martin Schäuble follows a true story.

Paul is sixteen and has always been a bit different: he learns Japanese and listens to music that no one his age knows. He is incredibly smart and could achieve anything if it weren't for his fears and inner struggles. He doesn't talk about these for a long time, only in youth psychiatry. There, he meets the young Alina, who shares his love for cats and calls him Jesus. After his time there, he returns to his normal life, and everyone has great hope. Except for one person, who has already said goodbye.

Based on Paul's true story: stirring and tragic. Highly relevant and timely: mental health issues among young people have been dramatically increasing for years. Suitable as classroom reading on the topics of depression and suicide prevention.

The publisher notes that this novel deals with a young person who takes their own life and also depicts self-harming behavior.
