I like the writing style more than the very loose “plot.” It’s not bad at all. I like a story that goes back that starts with the end and works backwards.

“They both knew that, as they say, the end was already written, the end of them, of the sad young people who read novels together, who wake up with books lost between the blankets, who smoke a lot of marijuana and listen to songs that are not the same ones they separately prefer”
There is a subtle style of writing that is found in Latino writers that can not be found in any other writers. This was so simple a book that it was perfect not too much detail not not much nagging that you sometimes get from other authors. I recommend this for everyone!
