I decided I was going to buy this, then thought no it’s not my vibe. After being like no Taylor Swift loves this book just give it a go so I bought it. I started reading it and was struggling with it. I did not like it whatsoever, then as I kept reading I found myself routing for Kya and I found myself being a little more invested. I wasn’t entirely sold and I pre-decided that I would rate it 3 stars before I even finished it, I don’t know why. Anyway, I found myself trying to put two and two together with the murder of chase and find out exactly what happened. I felt so bad for Kya throughout the ENTIRE book. Girl does not catch a break at all. I found the relationship with Tate sooo sweet and the relationship with Chase I did not buy at all I kept suspecting something was going to go wrong. Jumpin’ and Mabel where the best characters imo. I found comfort in their motives and acts of kindness. It wasn’t until the final 100 pages when I decided this was 4 stars for me. The trial has me turning pages constantly, it was very suspenseful and the last poem twist made me gasp. So, yes at times I was struggling, but it was a good read I can’t deny it.

an incredible story and just what I like: the story of a strong female charachter and her development, nature nature nature and solitute (ok and some love n murder). I listened to this and loved it. A stunning novel with a beautiful soul as the main character. Oh and this was a book I longed for a happy end and got it.

Empecé esta novela de Owens tras haber leído varias críticas positivas y, en parte, porque me parecía una trama interesante dentro del género thriller. Aunque bien es cierto que calificaría la historia como un drama romántico, me llevé una grata sorpresa.

Uno de los aspectos que más me gustó de la novela fue como la autora intercalaba hábilmente las dos líneas temporales. El pasado de la protagonista se iba desvelando conforme avanzaba la historia, mientras a la vez nos adentraba al misterio del crimen situado en el presente. Esto hacía mantenerme enganchado y con curiosidad por cómo iba a desenlazarse la historia.

Aunque debo admitir que hubo momentos en los que sentí que había un exceso de descripciones, no puedo negar que estas no se volvieron pesadas ni aburridas. De hecho, en muchos casos, las descripciones detalladas de la naturaleza y el entorno se convirtieron en una parte esencial de la atmósfera de la historia.

En cuanto a la trama en sí, no tengo nada negativo que comentar. La historia está bien construida y tiene giros sorprendentes que te mantienen en vilo en todo momento. Sin embargo, el punto culminante para mí fue la última parte del libro y todo lo relacionado con el juicio, conduciendo a un desenlace conmovedor.


4,5/5
