REVIEW

An exciting story full of twists and turns that enthralled me until the end. I especially appreciated the author’s choice to provide information in small doses and with time leaps that help to understand how the events unfolded in each circumstance. I noticed an excellent job in building the plot and characters, like a movie script. A truly enjoyable and engaging read.
The story is told from different points of view in the first person, of the main characters. Each narrator provides relevant information that advances the plot in a complete and coherent way, and the reader understands the different perspectives.
According to what the characters want to achieve, we know how they are. Everything they do, how they behave and how they speak, revolves around the desire to make a dream come true. This makes them incredibly real, complex and human, with their weakness and strengths that also emerge through the dialogues and thoughts of the protagonists.
As for the descriptions, they are accurate. The use of flashbacks is a bold choice that favours the intertwining and unravelling of the cruxes of the plot. And finally, the author relates secondary themes to the main theme that strengthen the entire structure of the story.
