This was a very melancholy read for me. The book started off a little slow for my taste, but definitely picked up enough for me to enjoy it. I enjoyed the character development of both Luzia and Valentina, and I ADORED how the book ended. 

Finding an enjoyable and satisfying standalone novel nowadays is a rarity for me (I tend to accidentally start new series/trilogies all the time thinking they are standalones haha) and this one was a breath of fresh air in that regard!
