I was really invested in both timelines and almost every storyline, the characters can be a bit flat sometimes but I loved their dynamic. The only I didn’t really like is Jay for some reason, but I could relate a lot to Nina.
A bit too much surfing for my taste though.

Nina Riva es la protagonista principal, y está muy bien desarrollada, la conocemos desde que nace hasta su edad actual, podemos ver como una sola noche puede cambiar tanto a una persona, como ella se cansa de complacer a la gente sin decir lo que realmente piensa, siempre poniendo a los demás por encima de sus propias necesidades.
Un punto malo que vería en el libro es que te introducen a muchos personajes, y aunque algunos si tienen relevancia en la historia, otros simplemente no vuelven a aparecer, o hasta vemos su punto de vista en varias secciones del libro, que realmente no es interesante y llega a ser tedioso cuando queremos saber qué pasó con los protagonistas.
En general, un libro con personajes femeninos muy bien desarrollados, una ambientación muy buena, y personajes de otros libros que en este podemos llegar a conocer a profundidad, como Mick Riva.
