Schöne Grüße vom Mond (Kindle Single)

Schöne Grüße vom Mond is a short prequel to Adriana Popescu's novel "Mein Sommer auf dem Mond," told from the perspective of Fritzi, who jumps between two points in time: a moment when things were difficult but still bearable, and a later point after her life has been turned upside down.

At its center is the friendship between Fritzi and her best friend Isa, and the two girls' plans for a dream summer together on their favorite island. The single traces how that plan came together and, in hindsight, why it didn't unfold the way either of them expected.

As a short-form companion piece rather than a full novel, it's aimed at readers of the main book looking for more of Fritzi and Isa's friendship before the events of the longer story.
