Really refreshing plot and I leermeester a lot about how abusive relationships work. Really well written for a debut novel!

This book was ... fine. I read it quickly as it was fairly easy to pick up and it kept me somewhat occupied; however, I wouldn't particularly recommend it. The plot line is easy to follow and nice enough but not particularly captivating. It just didn't have that MUST READ feel. Also, perhaps I was just oblivious but there are strong themes (although not graphic) of abuse throughout the book which could definitely be triggering. Remember to check trigger warnings for ALL BOOKS as I hadn't seen this mentioned anywhere.

MARAVILLA MARAVILLOSA. Qué libro tan genial. La única pega que le pongo es que se haya acabado. Es uno de esos libros que te hacen sentir calorcito en el pecho en cuanto te pones a leer. Tanto Tiffy como Leon son personajes adorables y, aunque encontramos algunos clichés típicos del género, los personajes y la historia tienen su «algo más» que los hacen especiales, diferentes. Me ha recordado bastante a un libro que adoré en su momento: Contra el viento del norte, de Daniel Glattauer. 

Me ha encantado la subtrama y el trasfondo de Tiffy. Creo que el libro aborda de una manera muy acertada
lo que es estar dentro de una relación abusiva, la manera en la que una justifica a su pareja, incluso no se da cuenta de lo que está pasando, hasta que no toma distancia, así como lo difícil que es romper con ese tipo de relaciones y no volver a repetir patrones


Lo recomiendo si quieres pasarte unos ratos de lectura dulces, confortables y agradables. Reconozco que he llorado con el final, hasta tal punto se te meten los personajes dentro.
