Me lo recomendaron así que no tenía mucha idea de lo que iba el libro, pero no importó porque entras en la trama en las primeras 2 páginas.
El libro sigue la historia de Miren, una reportera que se obsesiona con un caso por más de 10 años. La mitad de los capitulos son narrados desde su perpectiva, mientras que los otros narran lo que sucede con otros personajes. El libro tiene varios puntos en el tiempo y en cada capítulo se salta de un punto a otro. No es cuestión de dónde sino de cuándo estamos. Esto me pareció interesante pero hasta cierto punto un poco triste, pues ya sabes parte de lo que ha pasado.
Ademas del caso principal, tambien seguimos la vida de Miren y cómo este caso la hace olvidar sus problemas personales. Le da como un proposito en la vida.
Si hubo varias cosas que no cuadraron, dejó varios cabos sueltos y plantó unas semillas aquí y allá que tenía sentido seguir pero no las usó. El final es muy hollywoodense. Había potencial para más.
Aún así me disfruté muchísimo el libro y revisaré otros libros del autor.

Not only does The Snow Girl follow the story of a young girl who vanished during the Macy's Thanksgiving Day parade, but it also follows the budding journalist who latched onto the story. It really allowed me, as the reader, to understand why she went to great lengths to try to find the missing girl.
Since this story takes place in the late 90s and early 2000s, there are a lot of technology references from the time, which was kind of fun.
I will say that this book could have used a better translator. Since the English version takes place in the U.S. and all characters are from the U.S., the British English really missed the mark. It felt unnatural and out of place. Also, the writing style itself felt disjointed. At times, it flowed smoothly and at other times it was choppy and rushed.

Lo que menos me ha gustado es que odio los libros que cada capítulo transcurre en un año distinto. El libro va alternando entre el 1998, 2003, 2010 entre capítulos y me hago un lío enorme.
