If Ari Fliakos narrates it, I will listen to it.

It's too early to say, but they're in Sicily, so there's that at least

Why hadn't I picked up any book by Claudia Piñeiro until now

Enjoying this so far. I have thoughts but I won't hazard a guess.

This book. Jesus. This wall of text. It's brutal. It's amazing!

"Esperaría despierta en la oscuridad del patio y lo pillaría cuando el cabrón tratara de escabullirse en la casa, como siempre hacía de madrugada, y con ese machete oxidado que encontró debajo del lavadero, con ese filo romo y apestoso a centavo le rajaría la cara y el cuello mientras le decía: ándale, chamaco pendejo"

How do I pick all the heartbreaking books

This is heartbreaking but beautiful.

Meh. The writing is a bit lacklustre in this one.

This will break my heart, I just know it

This is fun, but I have to admit, the way the narrator pronounces the Spanish is weirding me out. No Argentinian person speaks like that.

Wow. Very strong start!

I started this last night, on a whim. I'm almost 1/3 in, and it's almost ALL exposition. SO MUCH TELLING.

My heart is in my throat

What are these people? Twelve?

Another totally ludicrous premise, but I'm enjoying the academic setting and the trials and tribulations of Olive as a PhD student in STEM. That part is done well and it rings true.

This whole "you're not my boyfriend" schtick is vexing me up

The premise is a bit of a stretch. It reads like feminism fanfiction.

What kind of ER doctor has the time to chat on the phone for hours, is free on several weekends, and can take a 4-hour drive to go see her boyfriend at the drop of a hat?

The premise is ludicrous but this is so much fun!

This is actually a blast!

Dare I say that this might be the best vampire story I've read in a long time? Because I'm impressed.

The sheer lack of ethics is still going strong
