Foi interessante ver como ocorreu a história das gêmeas no outro mundo. Porém a escrita mais rebuscada, com requintes sombrios, me fez desfocar um pouco, tornando-a mais longa do que de fato é. No entanto, há ótimas reflexões sobre as imposições que muitas vezes os genitores podem vir a fazer na vida de crianças e como isso impacta e muito, repercutindo para sempre.

I enjoyed getting to know Jack and Jill a bit more. I found them to be interesting characters in the first book and wanted to learn more about them and their background which this book did.

I found it very interesting the book diving into the subject of people who never wanted kids having kids, because everyone else around them is and not being about to relate to them.

Préféré au premier. Jack et Jill etaient deux persos qui m'intriguaient beaucoup alors forcement un livre avec elle j'allais pas dire non. Et franchement j'adore. Si tous les livres ont une qualité superieure au précédent ça va vite devenir ma série fav
