*I was given an eARC of this book in exchange for my honest review. All opinions are my own.*
I just want to start off by saying that originally I thought this was going to be somewhat like We Were Liars. It was not. It actually took a while for me to even get in to the book. Normally I like the different POVs, but I didn't like the way it was done here. I didn't mind hearing snippets of Caridad's POV so that we could understand what happened to her, but I didn't like how half the book was told in Elena's POV and then the other half was in Joaquin's. I felt like I was just starting to get to like Elena and all of a sudden her story was abandoned for her brother's.
I'm honestly not sure if the author was trying to make Caridad a sympathetic character by telling us about her background and what she went through, but frankly I couldn't be bothered to like her character at all. Yeah, you had a rough life, but that doesn't give you the right to look down on the people who are only trying to help you. She seemed nonredeemable to me, and I wanted more from the ending as well. It seemed very abrupt and we didn't really get much closure for the characters, or at least that's how it felt to me.
I have read a few of the author's other books, and they were much better. This one just fell flat.
