Beautiful cover but this novel didn‘t work for me. I found it so boring. Even with a good premise and interesting character, well at the beginning I struggled to finish it. I have found that when you have more than one author in a novel there is a disconnection if that is the correct word. I didn‘t see like an integration in the story. It was like reading chunks of different stories. It didn‘t feel like the same tone⬇️

This is the second book I read by this author. Loved it. If you like nature/climate changes as novel theme, written in a slow pace, character driven, then this novel can work for you but it is a sad story. I can understand people who doesn‘t like it because it could be categorized as tragic. But I read the physical book with audiobook with Saskia Maarleveld as one of the narrator and I felt in love with writing style and story⬇️

This book came in a subscription box in 2022😱It was interesting since it is set in Ecuador in 1920‘s I enjoyed it. It has a touch of mystery and suspense. Puri traveled to Ecuador personifying her dead husband to claimed her inheritance but she is not welcomed and things happens and secrets start to happen. Maybe not realistic, cheesy romance but I liked Puri character and all the drama that occurred in this cocoa plantation.

This thriller was a page turner with its many twists. But the end was not as I expected, maybe rush or too simple. But it kept me reading. 3/3.5 ⭐️

This is the second book in Tuya (All Yours) duology. Liked it but not loved it. The beginning was so slow and it was about flies if you have any kind of phobia with this insect, this book is not for you. It was interesting to know about this insect but this is not a nonfiction book. You will hate Inés who has l, let‘s say a different personality😬but half way of the book, it changed and kept attention with good twists⬇️

I own like three special editions of this book because they are beautiful and I thought I would love this book. This book has mixed reviews. I‘m in the side of very disappointed team. The writing style is so different of what I use to read by this author, it was like someone else wrote it. The premise is so interesting but I found it extremely boring. Maybe because I was expecting action, intrigue, I don‘t know something else⬇️

I really enjoyed this book about two families and the matriarchal way to raise their families. So different. During my reading I was mad with Mrs Willoughby and more in the side of Mrs. Fowler. But then you follow each family, their sons and daughters through their lives and you will understand each side of the story. This is really a story about family dynamics and each and changes in each generation. So well written and⬇️
