Good quick read. Was expecting a little more creep factor, but it was more sad and real.

Empecé a leer este libro sin saber nada de él y me pareció muy lindo, único y con enseñanzas profundas de la vida. Toda la historia es ciertamente muy interesante y las historias que se cuentan en ella también lo son.
Al principio no entendía nada de lo que estaba pasando pero a medida de que te adentras en la historia todo va tomando sentido. Los 5 personajes me gustaron muchísimo, en especial la protagonista Llonka.
Es un libro para reflexionar sobre la vida y permitirnos ver los afortunados que somos de vivir. Super recomendado este libro.

Two one-star reads back to back. It wasn’t that this was a YA book that made it so bad. The story was ridiculous. The premise was interesting, kids in a hospice meet late at night and tell stories to one another. Then they decide to make a pact. The first to die will try to communicate with those who are still alive. However, that is the one and only time you hear about that pact. And the stories they tell one another are colossally boring. Very poorly executed. I wasn’t entertained in the least.

So, this was a great story.. I loved the character and the plot so much... but here is my problem with this book, It was so slow.. so slow! So by the description of the book it says when the first one to die, so we know someone is going to die.. I read 50% of the books and still no one had died. It started to pick up when I had around 30-20 pages left.. wtf.
The thing that saved this book was its characters, nothing else.
I only read this book because Mike Flanagan's Netflix show based on this is coming out soon, so I wanted to read the book before watching the show. Now I can't see where he would go with this, but I can't wait.
