Valentina was a brilliant character to follow, perfectly imperfect. Her flaws were clear to the readers but so where the reasons for those flaws. Her relationships with her family were complex and intricately multi-layered; it was wonderful to see Vale grow and change through out the course of the book. 

Leticia is just...I really like Leticia. I really enjoyed the fact that we got to know her slowly and that our perception of her changed in time with Vale's. Their dynamic was well developed and highly enjoyable. The side characters were developed just enough to not be flat but to not consume the story and instead add to it. 

The grief and expectations themes were very well fleshed out. The writing was great too (sorry, I'm running out of words. I really liked this book.)

The plot was not inventive but, my god, was it fun. Honestly, I don't really know what else to say.

Overall, really good book! You should read it.
