Love is complicated. Grief is overwhelming. And anger can be fuel. There is lovely prose in this book. Redondo has done a fantastic job setting her scene and describing her characters. However, there are too many characters. Cut, cut, cut! More on that in my extended review on the website ☝️.
Rated 3/5
