La verdad ahorita no tengo mucho que decir más que pega, pega mucho, es muy rápido de leer y toca el tema (a mi criterio) de la mejor manera y profesional posible, lo cual no me sorprende ya que la autora es terapeuta, muy buena historia, realista y repito pega mucho, busquen las advertencias antes de leerlo.

Well written & realistic, but just not my cup of tea. I have a hard time connecting with characters i don’t like, and i wasn’t a fan of Stevie for most of the book.
