I found this book in my boyfriends brothers bookshelf and started to read it just for fun but I couldn’t put it down! I finished it in just a day. Smitas story was so gripping and disturbing. I also liked Giulias story, just the parts about Sarah were a little less interesting to me. The idea and ending are very beautiful, like a puzzle coming together. It’s also nice to read a book with a good ending for once but I will say that it is almost a bit kitschy… It’s definitely worth reading and I’ll recommend it to my friends and family :)

¿¿¿¿Uau???? Me ha encantado. Historia súper bonita, súper redonda, muy entretenida y con muy buen ritmo (no podía soltar el libro, me he leído las 100 últimas páginas del tirón). También es dura, sobre todo la historia de Smita. Le agradezco a la autora que me haya acercado esa realidad, de la cual no era nada consciente. Y me ha gustado mucho el final feliz y esperanzador. Resumen: uau.
