While this is not my favorite Mariana Zapata book, it was still enjoyable. Heroine seemed kind of immature for her age and what’s she’s been through (although that could have been the narrator, she made the heroine’s voice kind of whiny and high pitched)

It was a dark story but a very good romance! Not one of my faves and wayyyyy to long. I think it could be shorter, but whilst reading i liked it sooo 3/5 stars! It does not have a very woman friendly/feminist vibe so be aware of that because i had sometimes struggels with that!
