4.5

Initially gave 5 stars, knocked down to 4.5 after a little reflection. I really enjoyed this book, but I think I was hoping for a little more definition/development of some characters. I know there's only so much room for this, but the main character, Isabel, I feel like could have been stronger at least. Again, great book and a great main character, but sometimes it felt like she was just a vessel for the story. 

Apart from that, this book hooked me in from the first line and kept me going until I was too tired to read. It broke my heart, but still gave me hope somehow! Will be looking for other books from Natalia Sylvester!
