Reviews

[Sonia Pagoaga · Rating 4 out of 5]

Una historia juvenil, bien desarrollada donde se conoce puede ver que a pesar de que todo parezca bien en una familia siempre hay situaciones que pueden dañar más de lo que imaginamos.
Sofía sufre de abuso infantil por parte de un tío, sin embargo como en cualquier niño, ella calla por miedo.
Al crecer, sus miedos salen a la luz y esto evita que ella pueda tener una relación con Adrián.
Con ayuda de su familia y de Adrián, ella logra confesar su pasado y busca ayuda para sobreponerse y demostrar que cuando se quiere, se puede salir adelante.

Y como olvidar el pequeño detalle que Sofía tiene 3 hermanos mayores que la sobreprotegen demasiado por ser la "chica" de la casa y que Nico, uno de sus hermanos, es el mejor amigo de Adrián...

Esta historia tiene muchos giros esperados y otros que no, pero tiene un mensaje muy contundente y claro.... así que me gusto

Me gusto, siento que la trama de esta historia fue mas consistente y fue inteligente mostrar con capítulos completos la perspectiva de ambos personajes.
Como siempre una lectura sencilla y amena 😊

The book changed me, changed my life. Let me know that I wasn't as alone as I thought I was, and that you can always live for those precious few moments of good in life.

es feo leer que uno de tu propia familia quiere abusar de ti, y tu sin poder contarselo a alguien porque no sabes si te van a creer o no :( pero me gustó mucho la historia
