Soy una de las mayores haters de libros que me mandan leer en clase pero sorprendentemente este me ha gustado bastante. Soy incapaz de decir cómo de realista es porque habla de muchos temas que nunca he experimentado y espero no experimentar, pero por lo que sé Isabel Allende tenía familiares que han sufrido en la adicción a las drogas, así que asumo que será real.

Me gustan los personajes, me gusta la historia y me gusta esta narración alternada aunque en algunos momentos se sentía un poco como si fuese relleno, pero no era la mayoría del libro.

Adoro con todo mi alma que pudiese terminar sin un hombre y no pasase nada, aunque no me queda muy claro si al final pretende volver con él. Por favor, no. No es necesario.

En fin, me parece bastante buen libro. Sorprendentemente.
