Woah. I’m actually holding back tears after finishing this book. The gut-wrenching storyline was heartbreaking but I loved reading it so much. I have never felt for a character as much as I felt for Beck and Joey.

The small number of characters was so refreshing and each one was so believable and obviously well-loved by the writer. They had so much depth and I was not starved on backstory or details. 

The style of writing was also wonderful, with powerful techniques that pulled at my heartstrings. 

Love love love, defo recommend this read

¡¡Ya basta de seguir usando Manic Pixie Dream Girls!! El personaje de August bien pudo haber sido sustituido por un perrito o un libro de autoayuda y no se habría notado la diferencia.

De verdad que ningún personaje tiene personalidad mas que Beck. Su madre abusiva es muy de caricatura y juro que no necesitábamos tantas escenas tan gráficas de violencia para mantener la historia entretenida.
