I’ve been curious about the Save Me series ever since I heard it was being adapted for TV, and as someone who always reads the book before watching the screen version, I dove in with high expectations. Right from the start, it gave me major Gossip Girl vibes, there’s prep school drama, juicy secrets, and rich kids behaving badly, and honestly, that nostalgic energy totally worked for me.
The writing is simple and direct, which may be partly due to the translation, but it made for a quick and easy page turner. This one is high on angst and tension, with that delicious enemies to lovers dynamic between Ruby and James. I really liked them both on their own, and their chemistry was undeniable. The opposites attract setup and forced proximity moments were exactly the kind of drama I was hoping for.
Is it a little juvenile in parts? Sure. But I’m also not exactly the target age group and that didn’t stop me from enjoying the ride. If you’re in the mood for a fun, drama filled escape that feels like a guilty pleasure, Save Me delivers. Just beware: it ends on a cliffhanger. Normally that would frustrate me, but in this case, it just made me desperate to pick up the next book.

The longing! The yearning! The stares!
I don't understand Ruby's keenness on keeping a low profile and not mixing up family and school. I guess it's what the book needs to work, but I don't see the harm on people noticing you or on telling your sister your day sucked for this or that reason.
I enjoyed the snippets into secondary characters lives, in fact, I would like more of them, even having several other points of view.

Yo empecé este libro con expectativas medias, pero ha terminado siendo toda una sorpresa. Es el típico libro que, si tienes tiempo, se devora de una sentada. Ha sido como volver un poco a la adolescencia, pero ese final... James, yo te parto las piernas en cuatro cachos.
