I really loved this. I liked the format of the chapters working through time in the past and present. I loved the characters and their sibling dynamic. I didnt give 5 ⭐ because I thought all the people at the party was too much and I wanted more just about the family. Def gonna read more TJR!!!

ALGUIEN DIGALE A TAYLOR JENKINS REID QUE NO PUEDE HACERME LLORAR CON CADA LIBRO QUE SACA, COMO ES POSIBLE, yo pensé que Evelyn Hugo er alo maximo que me iba a hacer llorar está mujer pero llegó Malibú rising y dijo compromiso mi ciela. 

"She could feel both the ocean and it's absence across her skin." 

No sé si es por qué justo soy la hermana mayor, pero este libro me pegó demasiado, y también que es súper parecido a shameless entonces yo podía imaginarme todo súper bien.

"Do you know how much a body can weigh when it falls into your arms, helpless? Multiply it by three. Nina carried it all. All of the weight, in her arms, on her back."

Ame los guiños a las otras dos novelas de este universo. Ya solo me falta Carrie Soto para leer los 4 que están conectados, pero hasta ahorita ninguno decepciona, está mujer es buenísima en lo que hace.

"Must be nice. To be able to be weak. I wouldn't know."

PD. Lo mío con mick Riva es personal. Si Mick Riva tiene 1000 hater yo soy una de ellos, si solo tiene un hater, soy yo; y si no tiene haters es que me morí.
