3.75/5 stars.

This is a nice psychological thriller well worth a reading. Now, you might ask: Why 3.75 stars then?
That's because I was not a particular fan of our main character, Amanda. That's totally on me, since I understand that her actions and reaction to certain circumstances are a result of nerves, anxiety and because she's a human being. This is me just being an extreme picky reader.
That aside, I enjoyed a lot reading this book. It took me less time than expected, considering how little I've been reading lately and, also, that I've been jumping from one book to another.

Now, onto the review:
What I loved:
1) One of the characters dedication, I won't mention who that character is because I don't want to do any spoilers. That character has my respect for being so caring and have such a strong will.
2) How easy it was to read (recommended for beginners learning English).

What I liked: The general sense of foreboding and that I couldn't stop myself from trying to guess who was the murderer and their reasons behind their actions. That's what I like of a psychological thriller: Being thrown into the story, not just read because it's interesting but because I'm actually engrossed and I'm not just seeing words, but I'm going along with the characters.

What I disliked: How dumb and naïve some characters seemed to be to me. It just wasn't my cup of tea but I already explained my reasons above.

Please, give it a chance and, when you do, let me know what you think about it.

I received this book free from NetGalley in exchange for an honest review.

Este es uno de esos libros que pueden ser un tanto tediosos y largos, que parece que no llevan para ningún lado, pero que tienen un propósito claro y que, sobre todo, valen muchísimo la pena leer. Que te dejan un sentimiento agridulce en el pecho y una sonrisa en los labios.
