Plot or Character Driven: A mix

Strong character development: Yes

Loveable characters: Yes

I wasn't in the mood to read this book, but I'm really glad that I pushed through and finished it. I really loved all of the characters and following them around Barcelona. But it was heartbreaking at the same time.

When you discover the truth about Julián and Penelope, I really thought that I would hate this book. I just don't like themes like that in my reading, but even that wasn't enough for me to dislike this book.

I think on the characters and I can't help but have a bittersweet feeling. I think this is definitely worth a read and I'm so glad that this is one that I can reminisce on.
