I thought this was a good read. I predicted a bit of the plot, but not the whole thing, and I was interested in how everything was going to unfold. But boy howdy, men ruin everything. I'll be paying attention to more books from Ms. Lapena.

This book is ok. Not great not terrible. I felt it was really slow for such a small book. I wanted to push trough as I absolutely love another book from this author. At the 70% mark, I was could not stop and the end was worth it. I guessed some part of what would happens as it was predictable to me. What is good? Yes and no. Would I recommend? I don't know... But for the last chapter, yes!
