I put the adult/minor relationship tag because technically speaking there is a relationship between an 18 year old and a 15 year old. That said, the age gap is 2 and a half years and isn't too much cause for concern in my opinion.lcrozier_'s review against another edition

"Romper el círculo" nos cuenta la historia de Lily. Su romance presente con Ryle y, mediante diarios, se va entrelazando su pasado con Atlas.
Me sorprendió que fuera un libro que se lee tan rápido, teniendo una trama seria. La manera en que narra la autora hace que sea imposible dejar de leer.
En cuanto a los personajes, creo que se sienten como gente real, casi todos son lo suficientemente complejos para llevar adelante la trama, y tienen tanto cosas buenas como malas.
Lo que menos me cierra de la historia es el romance con Ryle, siento que no vi a Lily enamorarse de él, todo lo que envuelve a la relación pasa demasiado rápido. En cambio, es muy fácil querer a Atlas.
Lo otro que me sacó un poco de la lectura fueron las cartas a Ellen, tienen una explicación, pero aun así me costaba tomarlo en serio cuando hablaba de ella o su programa.
En resumen, fue una buena lectura, más emocional de lo que esperaba. Me gustó el cierre con la nota de la autora hablando de su experiencia personal y que no todas las situaciones son iguales, fue una buena manera de cerrar el libro.

This book tells us the story of Lily, her present with Ryle, and through journal entries, her past with Atlas.
I was surprised that it was such a fast-reading experience. The way the author writes makes it impossible to stop reading.
As for the characters, I liked them. They were complex enough to carry the plot forward, and they have both good and bad things.
What I did not completely like about the story was the romance with Ryle, I never saw what make Lily fall in love with him. On the other hand, it was very easy to love Atlas.
Overall, it was a good read, more emotional than I expected. The closing notes about the author's personal experience were a nice touch.
