Worst ending I’ve ever read. This was an incredibly fun and cute little book—at least in the beginning. The characters at this point weren’t so insufferable. The only people I like by the end of the story were John (justice for John) and Gertrudis. There was no moral at the end of the story, or anything that felt satisfying for that matter. John just disappears and we’re expected to forget about him in favor of man-child Pedro. I really wanted to rate this book high at the first 100 pages of this read. But now, I’m just left with a disappointing 3.5 stars
