I read this on audible in an attempt to read more stories from my island. The voice actor were pretty good although there was a little unneeded repeatition. Overall I enjoyed the book, it was told from two sides and you could really tell how different and yet similar they both were. I would have given it a higher rating if it wasn't for a few minor things that irritated me personally such as the way yahiras whole view of her father changed but i can also understand why it did. As well as the way Camino knew she was in danger and kept going to the beach. I understand it's not her fault that she was being harassed by El Zero and that was her place to destress but babe stop going there when you know he's out to get you and you don't have any protection anymore. Honestly though, I am excited to read some more works from this author.
