Reviews

[Mariana · Rating 2 out of 5]

First book by the author. Stylized and shallow. Would have given it 3 stars until the abrupt and unfullfilling ending.

[Mariairam · Rating 3 out of 5]

Leido (~2016).
Entretenido, pero la verdad es que sólo eso. No se ha desarrollado casi nada el "enamoramiento" de los dos personajes. No hay conversaciones que den a entender sus sentimientos hasta que no se está acabando el libro y hay que concluirlo. Y tampoco se desarrolla la trama del padre de ella, que se ve que está preocupado por algo relativo a su antigua mujer o algo así, pero nunca llega a saberse….

Um romance simples mas bonito .

[La Lectora Escritora · Rating 2 out of 5]

La verdad es que ha sido un poco decepcionante. La primera mitad está bastante bien, pero a partir de ahí, la trama se estanca un poco, y se nos plantea un problema importante para la familia de la protagonista que al final no sabes para qué ha aparecido en la trama (se supone que será resuelto en otro libro de la saga). Y el final es acelerado y decepciona las posibles expectativas creadas.
