I was hooked immediately but by 30% nothing was really happening and I wasn’t looking forward to reading it. I found myself scrolling my phone after only reading a couple pages. I may come back at some point but for now this isn’t the vibe.

Rien ne va dans l’histoire ou plutôt tout va TROP VITE.
Et pourquoi cette manie de diaboliser les personnages secondaires à chaque fois ? Tout le monde est le méchant dans l’histoire sauf nos 2 protagonistes…

The ending was a bit wacko but the rest of the story was good

relectura hecha de este primer libro de la serie. hace varios años leí la serie "los elementos" y me gustó mucho y me apetece mucho ir releyendo los libros ahora.
admito que este libro me ha gustado menos de lo que me gustó la primera vez que lo leí. no sé, siento que se me ha hecho algo pesada la historia.
creo que es una historia muy emotiva, muy dura. es una historia de superación personal, de aprendizaje y de seguir adelante. y me ha gustado mucho esa visión de la autora. pero quizá no me ha gustado cómo lo ha tratado la autora. es decir, después de lo que les ocurre a elizabeth y tristan, con ese pasado tan duro y algo tan trágico, que simplemente 'el amor' lo cure todo y ayude a los protagonistas a superar algo que destroza a cualquiera, no me convence.
aún así me ha parecido un libro bonito, con escenas preciosas y llenas de momentos dulces y bonitos.
los protagonistas me han gustado bastante, al igual que los personajes secundarios, que también han dado mucho vida e importancia a la historia.
así que en general ha sido un libro guay, entretenido y muy ágil de leer. pero también ha tenido cosas que no me han convencido.

It was an okay plot-- although it is still a little cliche (insta coincidental plot twist/ convenient plot twist).

I’m giving this one a 3 1/2 Star rating.
First off I saw the twist coming a mile away. Second I REALLY didn’t how Tristian and Liz used each other during the first half of the book. Honestly it kinda creeped me out, and made their relationship not as special to me.
I loved Emma and Fayes characters. Overall I enjoyed this story, but it’s not my favorite by this author.

Wow… there are no words. Like I’m literally sitting here speechless. The raw, heartfelt grief, and pain that you feel while reading this book… it was like I was them in their minds feeling that pain right along with them. I just…Wow. So beautifully written and painfully heart wrenching while still being (idk what the word is) light hearted or fun..? I guess. There are moments where you wanna just sob with and for these characters and then there’s these times where you just laugh, like there’s this scene where he helps her friend put dog shit on some guys porch and that whole scene just had me cracking up.
I think it resonated with me because that’s how real grief works. Somebody dies and everyone is crying and then some random thing will happen and every person just starts laughing and the grief let’s up for a brief minute and you can breath, at least in my experience this is how it happens.
I will say this… there’s a plot twist that I saw coming and then there’s one I did not see coming so I guess thats something. The book could’ve been barely longer just because it felt like a lot of the “action” I guess was kinda crammed into the last 20% so it all feels a bit rushed, but Anyway that did not bring my rating down cuz I was already in love with the first 80% and I didn’t hate the end it just all happens so fast.
