"Told exclusively through notes exchanged by Claire and her mother Elizabeth, and left on the refrigerator door, during the course of one eventful year, this is an emotional story for young adults. Stunningly sad but ultimately uplifting, it's an original portrait of the relationship between mothers and daughters, and how we live our lives constantly rushing, with no time for those we love. It's simultaneously published with an adult edition."
"Told through notes left on their kitchen fridge, this book is an intimate portrait of the relationship between a hard-working mother and her teenage daughter. It is about being a 'good mother' or a 'good daughter', and is a reminder of how much can be said in so few words, if only we made the time to say them."@en

"Dialog per Notizzettel: Die 15-jährige Claire lebt mit ihrer alleinerziehenden Mutter zusammen. Diese ist als Frauenärztin tätig und oft weg. Also schreiben sich Mutter und Tochter Zettel, die sie an den Kühlschrank hängen. Doch da stehen nicht nur Kleinigkeiten wie die Einkaufsliste, sondern viele andere überaus wichtige Mitteilungen. So erfahren wir, dass Claire regelmässig ihren Vater trifft, dass sie Freundinnen hat, ihre erste Liebe erlebt, während die Mutter in der Klinik mit Geburten und Babies zu tun hat. Eines Tages jedoch muss die Mama selber zum Arzt und man versteht schnell, dass es ernst ist. In der Folge stehen die Krankheit und ihr Verlauf im Mittelpunkt. Die Alltäglichkeiten sind durchzogen durch Hoffen und Bangen. Es ist unglaublich, wie es die Autorin schafft im 'Notizzettelstil' so viel über die Mutter-und-Tochter-Beziehung und deren Leben mitzuteilen und damit eine emotionale Dichte zu schaffen. Da manche Seiten nur mit einem Satz gefüllt sind, liest sich das Buch sehr schnell und ist von daher auch für Weniglesende ein überschaubarer Text. Ab 12 Jahren, ****, Denise Racine."
"Die fünfzehnjährige Claire und ihre Mutter leben allein zusammen. Sie sehen sich nur unregelmässig, da die Mutter als Ärztin in einer Geburtsklinik arbeitet - und Neugeborene halten sich nun mal nicht an feste Arbeitszeiten. Oft ist sie schon aus dem Haus, wenn Claire aufsteht, oder noch nicht zurück, wenn Claire zu ihrem Vater oder einer Freundin zum Übernachten geht. Dann hängen sie sich gegenseitig Nachrichten an die Kühlschranktür, Einkaufslisten, Taschengelderinnerungen, kleine Berichte aus ihrem Alltag. Doch eines Tages muss Claires Mom, die Ärztin, selbst zum Arzt. Was sie dort erfährt, verändert ihr Leben. Und Mutter und Tochter müssen auf den kleinen Zetteln auf einmal so viel mehr unterbringen als bisher."
"Claire und ihre Mutter verpassen sich ständig. Dann hinterlassen sie sich Nachrichten an der Kühlschranktür - mit Einkaufslisten, Verabredungen, kleinen Geschichten aus ihrem Leben. Bis die Mutter eines Tages eine Entdeckung macht, nach der nichts mehr ist wie zuvor. Und Mutter und Tochter auf den kleinen Zetteln so viel mehr unterbringen müssen als bisher."
"Life on the Refrigerator Door is a poignant and deeply moving first novel about the bonds of love and frustration that tie mothers and daughters together. Told entirely in a series of notes left on the kitchen fridge'some casual, some intimate, some funny, some angry'it is the story of nine months in the life of 15-year-old Claire and her single mother. Preoccupied with their busy separate lives, rarely in the same room at the same time, they talk to each other in a series of short snippets that reflect the daily drama of school, boyfriends, work and chores that make up their days. Yet the mundane soon becomes extraordinary when a crisis overtakes their lives'a momentous change that will redefine their relationship and unfold in their exchanges on the refrigerator door. Short, powerful and unforgettable, Kuipers' novel looks deep into the complex relationship between mothers and daughters, and the distances that can open up between people who live together but exist in their own worlds. Unfolding in a wonderfully simple and intimate narrative, Life on the Refrigerator Door will appeal to readers across the generations, delivering universal lessons about love."@en
