Fue una lectura ligera y sencilla. Los personajes son profundos pero no en exceso y puedes llegar a identificarte con sus situaciones o problemas.

Libro perfecto para salir de un bloqueo lector y pasar un buen rato. Fue casi como estar viendo una comedia romántica (de las buenas) al estilo "She's all that". Tiene clichés como el "plan perfecto para enamorar a alguien" pero se terminan enamorando entre ellas, o que son totalmente opuestas, pero están aplicados de una buena manera.

Punto a favor: Nunca villanizan a nadie, todos son humanos que la cagan y ya está (Natalie es medio mala, pero no llega a ser "villana", por así decirlo).

Recomendado queda.

The character interactions are definitely what drew me into this book the most. The way things developed between the main characters were so charming and heart-warming! The authors also worked overtime to incorporate some heavier issues into it in a way that felt so natural and even. Literally just such a cute book that draws you in and wraps you in a tight hug. Love it!! <3
