5.0

This book is about life and everything that surrounds it. About love and waiting, respecting your partner and respecting yourself. 
In this book, we sometimes know more than Berta Isla, but the author gives us the opportunity to live in her shoes and wait for more information. It's a book that will stay with me forever, with real characters that definitely make you think.
