Idek what to say about this book other than it was beautiful and made me feel absolutely happy about the sister relationship I have with my own. Just like Sofia I would do anything to protect mines. Everything she did was very much justified and I was behind her 100%.
Her and Maddox’s relationship was really cute but I love Valentina’s and his relationship more, the way he would do anything for that little girl in the beginning without even knowing her that well made my heart flutter.
Some of my fave quotes without spoiling
“I had a feeling Valentina would always be my first child. We may not be linked by blood, but Sofia, Valentina, and I, we were becoming a family”
“I didn’t know how or when but this little girl had wormed her way into my heart and decided it was her home now”
“La muerte no existe, la gente sólo muere cuando la olvidan
Death doesn't exist, people only die when we forget them’
Sobbing ugh I can’t wait till the next book comes out.
