Cuando pasa la vida entera en un flash, la autora tiene muchos temas que abordar, entre ellos, el de la familia biológica y la familia de elección, la amistad, el desamor, los infortunios, las injusticias y otros más... Elif escribe abrumadoramente hermoso y genial, y aunque este libro yo no sea capaz de volver a leerlo, es una autora que vale mucho la pena tener entre las repisas porque no deja a nadie indiferente al llevarnos por un mundo de ficción cuyos límites se difuminan entre la poesía y la crítica social.

I absolutely loved this story! The writing is so beautiful and immersive: You really connect with every character, their personalities, and their struggles. You can’t help but root for them all.

It’s an incredibly inclusive novel with a richly diverse cast and a powerful focus on found family. 

Also, a huge shoutout to the narrator Alix Dunmore - she brought the audiobook to life and made the whole experience even more memorable! 

Would highly recommend! 5⭐
