Reviewed by ChiaraI enjoyed this book from the first page to the last and what more can I say than it left me vulnerable, touched and deeply in love.
Reviewed by MaraFirst book club book. It got better in the second half. I liked the characters a lot but I kinda missed a more exciting story behind them. Still a nice read.

Reviewed by NayeliI found the book OK. The writing is very good, keeps you reading fast and the characters are very well defined. I didn’t like that e is supposed to be a dystopian world but besides explaining their particular situations there’s nothing in their relationship with the outside world that leads you to imagine a world like this. The characters are believable in regular love-hate friendship relationships I can’t believe the would act the same under their special circumstances . Seems more like a teenager or young adult drama with the 2 “frienemies” in loved with the same guy who is clueless..
