3.0

I loved the  Córdoba setting and the concept was very interesting but something was not quite right in my opinion making it a little bit one dimensional, I personally do not love

cancer

in books as I find it a little bit over done and depressing, so maybe it was that.

This was such a charming but sad book, in the end. A gorgeous story of friendship, a celebration of found family and never giving up on what you want. Keep some tissues by you though. It is SAD at times. It’s also really funny in places too.

Wow wow and wow. What a poignant read. This book had me laughing and crying throughout. The characters were so lovable and I found myself getting really attached to them. Following their journeys was so special. I'm so sad that I've finished this book but it's one that will always stay with me.
