Son historias con mucha violencia, incluso difíciles de leer a ratos. Sin embargo creo que no terminé de conectar con los personajes y por lo tanto no sentí todo lo que el libro me presentaba.
Creo que simplemente no soy tan fan de las historias cortas.

Suprisingly I liked it more that the first and I think it's because there's a character arc that grows through the series more that in every book. So even thou I'm enjoying it as a whole, the character development and the story in each book feels a bit slow at times.
Still, I love it and wanna keep reading the series

Liked most of it, the pacing was a little bit off and there were some set ups in sonya's part of the story that didn't really get a resolution and I would've liked to see
But honestly, I think this is meant to be a book for the people that saw the video already in their teenage years, because the whole book feels very 2010's and it's kinda nostalgic, but I'm not sure if it holds up if you aren't that attached to the characters already.
Also the whole change that Coley has near the end felt a bit rushed from me.
Still, overall I ejoyed it and would read something else from heyley if she ever published more books <3

Some short stories were really good! I even got emotional in some
Others I found boring (and like they draged out tbh, which is weird for a short story compilation)
But in the end I would be intrested in reading more from this author

Once again, this book has so many cliches done so well. I loved it.
Not sure about the plot twist in the end but I actually didn't see it coming, so I'm ok with it.
Levi had me melting

Me encantó la forma en que Constanza del Río describe todo su recorrido, las sincronías que van dando forma a sus descubrimientos y su vulnerabilidad a lo largo de todo el relato.
