No es el libro perfecto pero amé cada parte de el. Quería una lectura ligera para pasar el tiempo y encontré esto en internet y me engancho desde el principio.
Cada uno de los personajes de este libro me mantuvo interesada, sean buenos o no.
El libro es corto pero no lo sentí así, esta narrado de una manera que te hace sentir que viviste toda la vida de los personajes junto a ellos.
Casi lloro con la historia del presente con ellos, y no creí que terminaría extrañando a Dan. La relación de Ash y Matt se siente muy genuina y me encanto el desarrollo de personaje de monica.

Chef kiss.

4,5 nomas pq no me gusto tanto como se reconciliaron al final

Second chance done well.

I hate all the wasted time but the retelling of their earlier time together made up for it.

Sweet ending to a well written story:

I've had this book in my TBR pile since forever. The first time I read the synopsis, I knew I had to read this. But I was so disappointed, and pretty bored with this.

Let me sum it up for you: This story is about first loves, bestfriend-turned-lovers, second chances and fate. Also, this is a story full of cliches and underwhelming characters. If you're all for that, then go ahead and read. Otherwise, skip this (wish I did, actually). Also, if you're a kid, go away. This is not for you.
