i love mariana zapata
And the award for cringiest first sex in a book goes to…
just a little too much bad vibes, too much smut and a hell lot of aggression but I love her writing style
<b>Manejar a Dex Locke sería como manejar un escorpión. En algún momento ibas a recibir ese aguijón venenoso</b> Esto me pasa por leer libros me recomienda tiktok. <b><i>Antes de que alguien me lance hate por esto, quiero que sepan que esta es solamente mi opinión. Que este libro no me gustará nada no significa que a ti tampoco te guste. Todos tenemos gustos diferentes.</i></b> Ahora, después de ese disclaimer. ¿Qué pasaba con ellos dos? Él solo la trata como un objeto desde que comenzó a trabajar para él, comportándose como maldito idiota posesivo, tóxico e imbecil, que hace sentir mal a la protagonista cada dos capítulos, y luego pide una disculpas que NO son disculpas, dice que no lo volverá a hacer y sorpresa ahí está dos capítulos después tratándola horrible. Ella, todo lo que había pasado en su vida. Todo lo que tuvo que soportar. Y decidió quedarse a aguantar a ese chico solo porque 1. Estaba sexi (lo repetía cada 2 páginas) 2. Era el amigo de su hermano. 3. Esta en una pandilla. Y 4. Repito, ella decía que estaba sexi. Incluso cuando tuvo la oportunidad de irse a otro trabajo, se quedó solo porque el tipo le dijo "NO DEJO IR LO MIO" Quizá en la época en la que estaba encantada con Travis Maddox y todo lo relacionado a tipos con muchos tatuajes que llaman "nena" a la chica me hubiera gustado pero ahora un rotundo no. <b>La única persona que me conoce mejor que tú es mamá y eso es hacer trampa. Ni mis hermanas ni mis hermanos, nena. Sólo. Tú.</b>
———second read (2024)——— actually really enjoyed it this time, more than the last time reading it! It’s not perfect, and not her best, but I love it anyway! 4.25
