  • Flaws of characters a main focus? Yes

5.0

 I was genuinely surprised by how good this was because the multiple adaptations this has had haven’t been the best (specially the Mexican series) but the actual book was so good, an actual look into the violence many women in Medellin and in Colombia face thanks to drugs and the economy that this brings around ; beautifully written
