dark emotional sad medium-paced

4.0

I really enjoy this author's writing. This isn't my favorite from the author but I still think it's good and I enjoyed it even though the ending made me sad. It is multiple pov with characters being very distinct from each other so it was easy to follow. Check trigger/content warnings for this for sure as the main theme in this book is sexual assault/rape/rape culture.

okay, no me mal entiendan creo que este libro es increible, si tienes entre 16-19 años, por eso le di la cantidad de estrellas que le di. Alex es una fuerza del universo ideal para personas de esa edad, muestra lo que es una sororidad, lo que es estar de verdad para tus amigas, lo que es SER UNA AMIGA, es un libro muy oscuro y fuerte en cuanto a acoso y abuso sexual, empieza con un asesinato y a partir de ahí la violencia no disminuye, pero creo que la autora lo hiso de muy buena manera, nunca llegue a odiar o no estar de acuerdo con las acciones que tomaba Alex, de hecho creo que es una heroina, creo que lo que menos me gustó fue la relación romántica entre Alex y Jack, yo me hubiera enfocado aún más en a relación entre Claire.
