Las dos autoras se han fusionado casi literalmente para mostrar un bonito cuento de amor entre dos chicas de un instituto de San Diego (California). Con drama (bullying), con alegría (las miradas, las sonrisas), y la opresión de dos personajes malvados (el novio, el padre). Celia y Harper tienen enorme personalidad, necesaria en estas historias. Celia es quien se explica más; Harper lo hace poco, pero muy clara. Y tan noble como su amiga.

Novela juvenil con protagonistas LGTB+ descubriendo su sexualidad. Fácil de leer y entretenida, aunque se hace corta.

It was very Wattpad like but it was definitely a quick easy read

This is the first time I went for the book and did not read any reviews or checked ratings, just the summary. So often I dismiss a potential read, just because some little thing do not particularly match my expectations. So recently I made a promise I would be more openminded.
If I only considered this book, the task would fail miserably.
So…no. No, no, no. There is nothing… nothing that would make me recommend this book for anyone to read it. There are comments about the book, I read after I read it, mentioning Wattpad. I admit I never read anything on Wattpad, but almost every fanfiction I’ve ever stumbled on (and I read a lot of it) is better than this story. I’m genuinely really sorry for feeling this way. The author obviously tried to create a lively story, to tell us something….anything. It didn’t reach me, though. It didn’t reach me at all.
The sentences are plain and simple. No showing, just telling. The characters are one layered. Every kiss or attempt to kiss is like telling the avatars in Sims games to kiss. No emotion. Just…now kiss.. we kissed. Duh… nothing. And it's same with any other interaction. Maybe I am incredibly cruel by saying this, but I cannot imagine how those plain description of events could make anyone to feel anything. And isn’t it the reason why we read books? To experience various feelings or to remind ourself of those, without actually being there, doing that?
I praise the author for trying to tell an interesting story. Unfortunately, I still can find anything interesting about this one. It’s nothing. Totally nothing. The book is like reading Telephone directory. Or maybe even worse. Because if you read a telephone directory and find an entry with pizza delivery, you at least feel excited. It pains me to say this but I felt nothing like that while reading this story.

No estoy segura de si leí la misma historia que los demás. La trama parece un boceto incompleto, con personajes que no llegan a desarrollarse debido a la brevedad de la obra. Todo sucede demasiado rápido, sin tiempo para generar tensión. Las conversaciones y reacciones de los personajes a menudo carecen de lógica.

La escena en la que el chico golpea a su novia y la tira al suelo, pero ambos reciben el mismo castigo, no tiene ningún sentido. Ella solo lo empujó para proteger a otra chica de su agresión. Y la justificación que nos dan de que sea tan violento es que toma esteroides, que la chica le entrega porque su papá se los da porque está obsesionado con que ella siga sus pasos. Otra cosa que no tiene sentido es que nos digan que a su mamá no le gustaba ver cómo su marido trataba a su hija, pero que una vez se separaron no le pidiera vivir con ella y la olvidara completamente.

Conclusión, nada tiene sentido ni es realmente interesante. Pero lo que más me decepciona es la falta de romance creíble. Simplemente no existe.

The setup for this story follows a common theme. The main character is a socially outcast nerd with a crush on the star women's basketball player who appears to be straight. The two jump into a clandestine relationship rather quickly with very little preamble. From that point the plot segues directly into the melodramatic. There are several, unpunished, acts of violence towards one of the women. There is rampant bullying. There is cheating on tests condoned by the school principal. There is sanctioned steroid and beta-blocker use by high-school athletes. By the conclusion the women have survived and are together, but it is difficult to feel positive about their prospects.

Cute story

The story itself was cute enough. Character development and relationship development were lacking overall. But for a short little read, it wasn't the worst I've ever read. Some of the wording was a bit awkward. However, I noticed the author has several books in a language other than English, so the wording may be due to translation from another language or perhaps English not being her first language.

Claro que, debido a su brevedad, este libro es simplista y rushed, y no queria juzgarlo por eso. Pero la protagonista es el mismo estereotipo de una nerd egoista y quejosa quien esta obsesionada con, y cosifica a, su crush, tal como los personajes masculinos de nerds misoginos. Ademas, hacia el fin, todo esta muy dramatico y poco realista, incluyendo delitos propriamente dicho.

Aprendí a criarme prácticamente sola, sin verdadero amor. Cuando lo hacía bien, me colmaba de regalos y, si en cambio lo hacía mal, me ignoraba.

Es un libro bueno aunque me ha parecido un poco aburrido,  ha cumplido con su objetivo de libro romantico.
Tiene un final feliz y es totalmente predecible en todo. Es un historia corta y facil de leer.
