This was recommended to me on BookTok and I thoroughly appreciated what Guadalupe Nettel wanted to explain.
The difficulties of friendships, the pains of motherhood, etc. felt present and real. I also felt myself getting attached to Doris and Niçolas, the protagonist’s neighbours, as well as her friend Alina. They were all so hurt and so human! 🥲

BookTok had said this was going to be life-changing. Unfortunately for me, it didn’t feel that way. However, I still felt touched by it and would like to read similar works maybe one day 😊

3.5 out of 5 stars for me, thank you ✨
