TW: molestie sessuali
L’incoerenza totale della protagonista mi ha distratta per buona parte del libro 

MA PUOI venire molestata dal marito di tua sorella e andare da lei a dirle che la sua sofferenza non serve a niente se non denuncia la violenza domestica? Ma denuncialo tu e fatti i cazzi tuoi. MA POI una roba  traumatica accade A CASO e nessuno ne parla mai più? Prontoo

Un muy buen libro juvenil, super recomendado para iniciarse en la lectura de policiales o salir de un bloqueo lector.
Tiene una trama muy interesante y el modo de escritura de la autora (que sabe representar muy bien los aspectos cotidianos de la vida) hace que el libro sea muy llevadero y se lea super rápido.
Sorprendentemente, tiene entretrejida una trama de romance muy linda (con personajes que se ganaron mi cariño), a la vez que habla de temas más complejos como la violencia de género y el duelo.
A pesar de eso, el final me dejó con ganas de más. Siento que hubo aspectos de la trama

los relatos al inicio de cada capítulo

que quedaron inconclusos y no tenían sentido con el final (estaba convencida de que la historia seguía en otro libro pero, por el momento, parece que los demás tratan sobre otros casos, sin resolver estas cuestiones).

Not usually a crime fiction person but this one was quite interesting. Not the best writing but decent pacing, interesting characters and an intriguing ending.

Slow and very predictable book. The story has nothing new to offer. To my taste the characters lacked some depth, even though the author tried very hard to give them back stories I think she did not accomplish what she aimed for. I found it so interesting how the characters kept missing clues and information, and I guess it was on purpose, so the author could keep the book going, which is not always good.
I read a translation, not the original language in which the book is written, not sure if it was the translator's fault, or if the author really writes like that, but hated the way it was written, there's so many words that are so repetitive and posh words that no one uses, almost feels like this book was written with the intention for it to become a tv series one day. 
I saw the author has published many more books since this one, from the experience I got from this one I won't be reading another book from her, but I hope she has improved since this book was published. And that she also has overcome her fatphobia
