           Al parecer soy buenísima para resaltar todas las cosas que están mal de un libro (como si fuera experta, já), pero en este caso debo de admitir que… aunque hayan cosas de las que no soy muy fan y todo eso, siento que este libro es una JOYA y siento que leerlo fue la mejor decisión del mundo.

Es corto, adictivo, con buenos personajes, unos giros o características interesante y buen final feliz.

¿Qué sentí que la historia era muy insta-love? Pues sí, pero who cares?
 
¿Qué el romance se dio de manera precipitada al igual que otras cosas? Jeje un poco.

¿Qué Iris me pareció intensa por momentos y solo quería decirle que dejara a Ash solo para que procesara todo? Jeje, yep. Entiendo que tenía buenas intenciones, pero era un MONTÓN andar encima de él a cada rato por cada mínima cosa. 

La madre de Ash y la hermana de Iris me cayeron MALÍSIMO. Personajes que se me hicieron por momentos muy reales por sus acciones egoístas. Igual Iris tira el dato de que su hermana como que le bajó dos a su tontería, pero de igual manera no la perdono.

También debo de admitir que me fastidió que el libro hubiera sido tan corto. Siento que algunas cosas necesitaron más desarrollo, profundidad y espacio para explicarse; y es por eso que algunas veces sentía que todo era muy atropellado.

Sin embargo, acá nada de eso importa. Lo único que importa es la historia de Ash, y que ahora está bien en su nuevo hogar, con un trabajo y la oportunidad de seguir estudiando, que tiene a su hermano y su novia, y que finalmente puede vivir su vida como se debe.

Mención honorífica a Kyle, el padre de Iris 💓 tremendo hombre.

My friend reviewed it.
This was a gut-wrenching and beautiful story. A top read of 2021 thus far for me! 

The characters were perfectly imperfect. Ashton and Iris come from two very different worlds but their souls were more alike.  

A boy who is drowning with the reality of providing for his little brother and an absent mother, and a girl from the other side of tracks who is dripping with wealth. They shouldn't have anything in common but a chance encounter puts them on their path towards friendship, love, heartbreak, and ultimately redemption. 

My heart was rooting for both of them so hard.

I wanted someone to give my guy Ash a break, he has been through struggle after struggle, and his self-confidence and esteem were so low, he pushed Iris away at every opportunity. 
Iris was a f*ckin gem for standing up to her man.

This book had one of the best parent characters I have ever read. Iris's dad was the real hero of this story. Not only was he kind and supportive but he was a pillar of strength for both MC's.

There was a quote I once read, that I highly relate to this book.

He is more myself than I am.
Whatever our souls are made of, his and mine are the same.
