I really enjoyed this book. The characters are relatable and real. There were a lot of flashbacks that got a bit confusing at times. I never really understood Morgan’s character, but maybe that was the point. The ending was a little underwhelming but
I started tearing up when Jo went to jail. Also I wish we knew what happened with Lucía.
Overall it was a great book and there were times when I couldn’t put it down.
