What can I say about these books? The series got into my life after I discovered the WEBTOON and read in one of the comments that it was based off a book.
I love the characters so much and their growth throughout this second book. This series is what I’ve always wanted off this genre and many others. And the Nita-Kovit dynamic is everything I’ve always wanted to see in a book but hadn’t found until now. Needless to say, I really loved this sequel, that so perfectly complements the first book. I loved to see how the experiences of the Mercado affected Nita, and the way she saw the world. From a psychological standpoint, her character arc -if we can call it that- is simply amazing to read; and how Kovit was her moral compass through the whole thing. I can’t wait for the last book to come!
(Also not gonna lie, but the mention of a Venezuelan restaurant and arepas was also something that made me happy, people usually don’t include my country or its culture in the slightest, so I guess it made my little arepa con reina pepiada eating heart love this book and the author for including it even more lol)
