Qué feliz me siento de compartir mi opinión sobre "Cencella" de Andrea Pisani.
Sinceramente, cuando empecé a leerlo, no sabía muy bien qué esperar, pero me atrapó por completo. No es solo una historia más; es una novela que te hace sentir cada emoción de los personajes.
Pisani tiene una forma de escribir súper fluida que te arrastra. Me encantó cómo maneja el desarrollo emocional. La trama gira alrededor de Anthony y Alexa dos personajes complejos, con muchas expectativas y metas que cumplir. Anthony un deportista que sigue los pasos de su padre y Alexa una chica que espera ser la mejor ingeniera química del área, sus historias te mantendrán enganchada hasta la última página. Yo no podía soltarlo.
Lo que más me gustó fue la complejidad del protagonista. Sus luchas son tan reales que me vi reflejada en muchas de sus dudas y miedos. Los giros de la trama son geniales; justo cuando crees que tienes todo resuelto, ¡pum!, te lanza algo inesperado.
Si te gustan las historias que te hacen reflexionar sobre el pasado, la identidad y lo que significa realmente encontrar tu lugar en el mundo, tienes que leer "Cencella". Es de esos libros que se quedan contigo mucho después de haber pasado la última página. ¡Muy recomendado! Le doy un 5/5, sin duda. Esperando con ansias leerme el segundo libro

Una historia que te regresa a ese primer amor, a sentir todas las emociones a flor de piel... Tony creía que no necesitaba más nada hasta que Alexa irrumpe en su vida y se la pone patas para arriba.
Amo que Alexa no se deja aminorar por él y además le demuestra que no es la cereza del pastel. Me encantó ver como los personajes van evolucionando y como su amistad se desarrolla. Amé los giros y las tramas que vamos viendo en el camino.
Definitivamente un romance lento pero que se vuelve adictivo, amo las relaciones del resto de los personajes y como el mundo que creo la autora se siente real.
Mis favoritos son Leo y Cooper 💙 Esperando con ansias el segundo libro.

A story that takes you back to that first love, to feeling all the emotions on the surface... Tony thought he didn't need anything else until Alexa bursts into his life and turns it upside down.
I love that Alexa doesn't let him slow her down and shows him that he's not just the cherry on top. I loved seeing how the characters evolve and how their friendship develops. I loved the twists and turns we see along the way.
Definitely a slow-burn romance, but one that becomes addictive. I love the relationships between the other characters and how the world the author created feels real.
My favorites are Leo and Cooper 💙 Looking forward to the second book.

A young adult sports romance that I thoroughly enjoyed. The characters captivate you, and you don't want to stop reading. It has drama, friendship, loyalty, very funny moments, and a beautiful story that makes you sigh.
I highly recommend it, and I'm already looking forward to the next one.

This is a beautiful story of first love amongst teenagers trying to define their future and define themselves.
The way the story is written is beautiful as it written in stages, from angst to realization to retrospective to maturity. Both MC are complex teenagers who are following paths that have been set for them, For Anthony is hockey, and the fight to be better than his father; for Alexa is the expectation of becoming the best chemical engineer until they meet, and their worlds tilt.
What follows is the gem of the book, is the process of shaping themselves to try to fit into the new realities of a relationship without losing their paths. Their journey is just beginning, and it is lovely to see how the MCs are ready to take on the world, so let's see what happens in the next book.

I'm so happy to share my opinion about "Cencella" by Andrea Pisani.
Honestly, when I started reading it, I didn't really know what to expect, but it completely captivated me. It's not just another story; it's a novel that makes you feel every emotion of the characters.
Pisani has a super fluid way of writing that draws you in. I loved how she handles emotional development. The plot revolves around Anthony and Alexa, two complex characters with many expectations and goals to fulfill. Anthony, an athlete following in his father's footsteps, and Alexa, a girl who hopes to become the best chemical engineer in the field. Their stories will keep you hooked until the last page. I couldn't put it down.
What I liked most was the complexity of the protagonist. His struggles are so real that I saw myself reflected in many of his doubts and fears. The plot twists are brilliant; just when you think you've got everything figured out, boom! She throws something unexpected at you.
If you like stories that make you reflect on the past, identity, and what it truly means to find your place in the world, you have to read "Cencella." It's one of those books that stays with you long after you've turned the last page.
Highly recommended!
I give it a 5/5, without a doubt. I'm eagerly awaiting the second book.

Very cozy read. The romance is a sweet slow-burn, but it ends with a cliffhanger that left me questioning a lot about the male lead's honesty... I'm very intrigued about what will happen in the second book.

Completely in love with this story and these characters. I love this book.
It is a real love story.
You really connect with all the characters, each personality is unique, attractive and fun.
Without a doubt an addictive story.
I love Anthony Evans! I love him with all my soul and his twin brothers are spectacular. Alexa is an incredible protagonist, you fully identify with her in so many aspects, she also knows very well what she wants, she is really smart.
