Nothing Can Hurt You Now by Simone Campos
3.0
2.5 ⭐️
This book had so much potential, but just didn’t get there for me.
How well do we really know the people we love? The story initially follows Lucinda who has just found out that her sister Viviana has gone missing. As she starts to worry, she begins trying to find her while reflecting on her relationship with her sister. During this process, Lucinda discovers that Viviana is hiding many secrets from her family, including a secret relationship and career. Lucinda and Graziane must track her down by discovering who would want to cause her harm.
The first part of this book felt a little disjointed with time and point of view changes. We got maybe one or two pov’s from Griaziane which didn’t really add anything to the story and felt very haphazard. I did enjoy the second part from Viviana’s point of view, I found the writing and her thoughts interesting. I also felt that the themes of racial and sexual prejudice from law enforcement were important but could have been explored more.
